Question

How do energy conversions make a car go down the street?

A. The stored energy of the gasoline is converted to heat, and then to the stored energy of the car.
B. The kinetic energy of the gasoline is converted to heat, then to kinetic energy of the car.
C. The kinetic energy of the gasoline is converted to heat, then to potential energy of the car.
D. Potential energy is stored in gasoline, which is converted to heat, then to the kinetic energy of the car.

Answer 1

The Answer is D the energy is always be changed I could got in deeper but i feel your just looking for a simole answer

Answer 2

The correct option is D.
The gasoline fuel used inside the car has inherent potential energy in its molecules. When the car is started, this potential energy will be converted to heat energy. The heat energy will then be used to carry out mechanical works in the engine of the car, this makes the car to move forward. At the point of moving, the energy in the car has been transformed to kinetic energy, which is energy in motion.
