Question
Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it? Where is the energy you spend going?
Answer
No transfer of energy takes place to the rock as there is no displacement (Work Done = 0).
The energy spent is used up by your muscles to generate tension, leading to fatigue, and is dissipated as heat energy within your body and to the surroundings.
