In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
Actually, the kinetic energy is not lost, it just changes form. The kinetic energy is converted by friction into thermal energy, another form of energy. The thermal energy makes the book, the table, and the air a little warmer. (see the related link below).
