Question

Katrina inserts a key into her car’s ignition. She turns the key, putting her car into ignition mode. In this mode, some energy is used to increase the temperature of the car’s fuel. This energy allows the fuel to combust and the car to move. What’s this energy called? A. absorbed energy B. activation energy C. chemical energy D. released energy E. solar energy

Answer 1

C. Chemical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel used in car is a chemical substance and has chemical properties in it.

When the car is turned on, the fuel burns giving a thrust to car to move, process of fuel burning is called as combustion. But the energy that has allowed the fuel to combust is called as the chemical energy.

While a chemical reaction takes places, energy is either released or absorbed. In this case fuel is burned and the released energy helps tp move the car.

Answer 2
