When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
When fuels are burnt what happens to the chemical potential energy?
When fuels are burnt, the chemical potential energy in the fuels is converted into heat and light energy. Initially, such energy will be converted to heat. In a fire, part of that will be radiated away as infrared radiation or light; it is also common that the heat will increase the pressure and make things expand - which is what happens in a gasoline or diesel engine.
Does fuels stored heat energy?
Heat is a form of energy that is a bit qualitative...when the temperature of 1 body is higher than the other we say the 1st body has higher heat content......Fuels do contain heat energy...but it is not what they are meant for....Fuels are basically chemicals which upon combustion get converted into products releasing energy that was stored in the bonds as heat, light and sound energy.....
When fuels are burned they transfer energy what type of energy is in the fuel and what energy is it converted into when its burned?
The energy that is contained in a consumable fuel (like gasoline) is chemical energy. The energy that it is converted into when it is burned is heat energy.
The process of burning gas in a car engine to release what kind of energy physical or chemical?
Neither, the process of burning gas (which stores chemical energy) releases that energy as "HEAT" energy. This heat energy is then converted into mechanical energy.
When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
Is chemical energy created by burning fuels?
Chemical energy is not created by burning. Chemical energy is already present just converted into heat/light energy by burning.
What energy can be easily converted into another energy?
Chemical energy can be converted to heat by burning a substance with oxygen

How do you get energy from fossil fuels?
Burn them - the heat can then be used to power things.
The burning of fossil fuels does not release- Potential energy Light energy Sound energy Heat energy?
sound energy???
A burning fire produces what type of energy?
The chemical energy of the fuel is converted into light and heat energy.

How does fossil fuels get converted into electricity?
Actually the energy of fossil fuels is converted into electricity.In thermal power plants fossil fuels are used to heat the water and steam is formed.Then that pressurized steam helps in rotating turbines and energy is formed.
When fuels are burned they transfer energy what type of energy is in the fuel and what energy is it converted into when its burned?
The energy that is contained in a consumable fuel (like gasoline) is chemical energy. The energy that it is converted into when it is burned is heat energy.
Explain the type of energy released when fossil fuels are burned?
Basically the same as when any substance burns. Mainly heat energy.
Is heat nuclear energy?
Heat can be produced through release of nuclear energy, but there are many other ways of producing heat as well, burning fossil fuels for example.
