Is the total energy of the car always conserved?

Basically, in physics, total energy is always conserved. Of course, it is possible for some of the energy from a car to go somewhere else.


How can total energy be conserved while energy of motion is not?

If you think of a car, fuel is burnt to make the car move. Chemical energy into kinetic energy. The reason the car stops when the fuel runs out is because the car is having to work against forces acting against it like friction with the road, air resistance and gravity acting on it's own mass.The cars motion or kinetic energy is converted into kinetic energy in the particles in the air and heat due to friction.


How is energy conserved when a car hits another car during an accident?

Most of the mechanical (or kinetic) energy is converted to heat.


How can you tell if your car runs out of gas?

it stops working


How is energy conserved when a car is going down a hill with no brakes?

The engine doesn't have to use as much fuel when the car is traveling downhill.


How was energy conserved during mouse trap car races?

the elastic potential energy of the spring on the mouse trap is changed to kinetic energy, causing the car to move. The kinetic energy in turn changes to thermal energy as friction causes the car to come to a halt


How is energy conserved when a car slows down?

Objects use more energy when increasing in speed or starting while objects use less energy while going at a steady pace.


When a car stops the brakes. Heat up because of friction .what is this an example of?

Conservation of energy. The energy from the moving car is transformed into heat by the action of the brakes.


When a car stops the brakes heat up because of friction what is this an example of?

Conservation of energy. The energy from the moving car is transformed into heat by the action of the brakes.
