When holding a barbell above one's head, is there work being done on the barbell? Explain
What is No - there is no displacement of the barbell, therefore, it has no work being done on it.

In all real mechanical systems energy is said to be "lost" to friction. Where does that energy "go"?
What is heat? Increase in the molecular motion (kinetic energy) of the parts in the system.

When a car with an initial speed hits a wall and comes to a complete stop, is it safe to say that the energy transferred to the wall is still kinetic energy, and what form of energy is it. Please explain.
What is Heat and yes it is kinetic energy because heat is the movement of microscopic particles that are moving faster since they have more energy.
