Answer:

Heat, Sound

Step-by-step explanation:

I am pretty sure you are addressing mechanical energy and machine efficiency. So you are probably aware a machine can't achieve 100% efficiency because of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. This energy is lost to friction and air resistance. They convert some gravitational potential energy to heat and sound energy rather than all to kinetic energy, and vice versa.
