What else can I help you with?
What type of energy is in a car?
The type of energy that is in a car is mechanical energy, chemical energy (because it consumes petrol), and sound energy.
How does a car engine convert petrol to power?
The petrol is burned in the engine where part of the energy released (roughly one-fourth) is used in moving the car, while the rest is lost as heat and sound energy.
What form of energy is a moving car?
Chemical energy from petrol which is converted to heat then to kinetic energy and then converted to rotational energy.
What form of energy is car moving?
Chemical energy from petrol which is converted to heat then to kinetic energy and then converted to rotational energy.
A car moves how?
You turn the key, the car has energy from the petrol that makes the wheels move, this movement turns the tires and then the car moves, slowly at first but then it makes a move by using the petrol. This is CO2.
Does a hybrid car need petrol?
a Hybrid car means it uses 2 or more energy ways to get powered. This can be for example: - Petrol, Hydrogen - Electricity, Petrol. - Electricity, Gas. etc etc. So nto all hybrid cars need petrol.
Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic?
YES!!! DEinitely!!!!! By the simple fact that the car engine becomes hot, when the engine is running (burning petrol). Petrol is a hydrovarbon. When combusted in a car engine, it is a chemical reaction between the hydrocarbon (petrol) and oxygen(air). This chemical reaction is exothermic, ( releases energy/heat). This release of energy is done in a very small space, hence the hot expanding gases push the piston down, and thereby mechanically move the car. The heat energy that you feel is waste energy. However, this 'waste' energy is used to heat the car interior. Here is a chemical word equation hydrocarbon + air =electric spark-> Carbon dioxide + Water. Hope that helps!!!!!
What is a petrol car?
petrol is synonymous to gasoline. so a petrol car is a car that uses gasoline as its source of fuel.
Car or a fan spining sround has what type of energy?
A car converts the chemical energy in petrol to kinetic energy which makes it move along. A fan converts electrical energy into kinetic energy to make the blades turn.
In terms of friction why does a car use more petrol when it has a load on its roof?
It uses more petrol because of air resistance. Friction pulling the load on the roof which causes the car to use more petrol because of the weight it needs more energy to move around.
When petrol in a car is used up where does all that used up petrol go?
The petrol undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen from the atmosphere and is converted into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The energy runs the engine, and carbon dioxide and water are given off as waste products. And banana
Why does a car that runs fuel cells have a similar overall efficiency to a car that runs on petrol?
A car that runs on fuel cells only has a similar overall efficiency to a car that runs on petrol because a car that runs on fuel cells is designed to not pollute the Earth but you need renewable energy resources to generate the electricity which is like the efficiency of the petrol pollution. That was what I put on my homework anywayz. :)
