2. Analyze An engine makes a car move because of the force generated by small explosions as gasoline is burned in air and

produces carbon dioxide and water. Why isn't the stored chemical energy converted completely into kinetic energy of the
car's motion?
During the explosion reaction, some energy is lost to the surroundings as heat.
b Some of the energy from the gasoline is destroyed during the process.
C Because the car is so heavy, it takes extra energy to get started
d. Some energy is transferred from the surroundings to the car's engine.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

b is out of the possibilities as energy is neither created nor destroyed

c is out because it says it isn't converted completely into KINETIC energy, meaning its not taking the weight of the car into account

d is just wrong. the engine will heat up and have an exothermic reaction with the air and hood which is why we have to have the radiator and other cooling parts in the cars
