I just pulled up to Sheetz and filled my car up with gas. Explain the transfer of energy that would occur once I start then drive my car--consider the type of energy that exists within the gas molecules, explain the transfer of form of energy as gas is burned and I drive my car, and consider how the engine and tires may feel after I have traveled in my car. (Use the following terms in your explanation: potential energy, kinetic energy, friction, and heat.)
