Question

Which type of energy in gasoline is transformed into mechanical energy in a motorcycle engine?

Answer 1

chemical-->thermal (heat) and pressure as fuel burns--> mechanical as pressure pushes piston down

Answer 2

Chemical energy into mechanical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

In the motor cycle engine, a piston, compress the gasoline to higher pressure to the extent of creating a spark. when sparked the chemical energy stored in the bonds is released in the form of heat energy .

This heat energy then pushes piston down which is the work or mechanical energy

So the chemical energy in bonds are first converted into thermal energy and this thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy
