it is conserved or lost to heat. In an isolated system, it is always conserved. Try this link http://www.sparknotes.com/physics/workenergypower/conservationofenergy/section1.html

Energy can not be removed, created or destroyed. Its transferred! The energy you talk about has been transferred into the work and thus still is apparent. although not easily recognizable. a typical example would be to take a brick, climb some stirs and place the brick one floor up. now the brick is at stand still. but the energy you used to carry the brick to its new height, remains in the brick, and that energy can be transferred back by allowing the brick to return to its previous ground level state. simple example, but very relevant. Now suppose the worse happens and our gravity ceases!!!, well it wont happen easily, and the force taken to remove the earths gravity would be equal to that of the gravitational pull on all mater influence by it, but opposite. That includes the brick, amongst the rest of the globe. and that energy will be transferred and absorbed by the force that counters the earths gravity. So the energy is once again still prevalent.

it is converted to work.
after ure work is done, some of it is dissipated as heat, rest is stored as potential energy
