Energy used by a car starts with the microorganisms that made the petrol it runs on.
Skip a lot of procceses and what happpens is is when ignited the petrol explodes forcing a piston to move turning a drive shaft turning the wheels of the car.
Some energy is used in heat, some in the friction of moving these parts.
Then when the wheels are turning there is friction against the road which takes energy.
wind resistance on the cars body takes energy.
Braking removes energy in the form of heat and sometimes light.
There are so many ways and I have only covered the obvious ones. If you look deep im sure there are hundreds.

Draw the energy transfer diagram for a car?
kainatic energy ------------------->moving car------------------------>light energy
When the potential energy of gasoline is converted to the kinetic energy of the moving car what has occured?
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
When the potential energy of gasoline is converted to the kinetic energy of a moving car what has occured.?
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
WORK IS A TRANSFER OF ENERGY Car moving= 80km/hFrictional Force=4500NDistance = 50mWork= “Does the energy of the car increase or decrease as a result of the braking action”?
increase
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?
In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!
What kind of energy transfer does a car have?
mechanical energy
What does moving an object through a distance transfer?
force and energy
What energy has a moving car got?
kinetic energy
What happens to the stored energy as it transfer from one organism to another?
it becomes a kinetic energy.kinetic energy is an energy that is moving moving. example: rolling a ball
