Answer;

The above statement is true.

The energy transformations in a car’s engine are an example of multiple transformations.

Step-by-step explanation;

  • From the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created but can be transformed from one form to another.
  • Energy transformation occurs when a transducer or a machine converts energy from one form to another. Examples of traducers includes, bulb, generator, etc.
  • Examples of multiple energy transformations include those in a car engine, where; internal combustion engine in the car converts the potential chemical energy in gasoline and oxygen into thermal energy then transformed mechanical energy which accelerates the vehicle.
