When is Thermal Energy waste?
An example: When applying the brakes on a moving car (kinetic energy,) the Brake Pads and Disks heat (thermal energy) from the friction, as do the tires and the road (again, friction. All the Thermal Energy created, is waste or wasted.
What is the energy transformation in a car engine?
The energy in a car starts as electrical energy in the battery. That energy creates thermal energy in the form of a spark, which activates chemical energy in the fuel. The chemical energy converts to thermal energy which is then transformed to the mechanical energy which moves the car.
Transfers thermal energy to move pistons that provides power?
A combustion engine transfers thermal energy to move one or more pistons that provide power. An example of a combustion engine is an engine in a car.
Where does the energy needed to start a car come from?
Car's normally get their energy from gasoline, or a similar fuel - which stores the energy as chemical energy.
How is motion energy converted?
kinetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy... And vise vers.For example, kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by a generator or into thermal energy by the brakes on a car.
What type of energy does a car engine have?
Depending upon its state when measured, potential, kinetic, mechanical (electrical for a battery op), thermal...the output is 'mechanical.'
What is the starting energy of the battery?
The answer depends on the type of battery. A car battery and a watch battery, for example, will have very different amounts of energy to start with.
Example of thermal to mechanical energy?
filling your car up with gas and go on a trip

What is an example of converting thermal energy into electrical energy?
A car engine, a coal or petroleum power plant, a nuclear reactor.

What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
What is the motor converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
What is the motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
What happens to the thermal energy in a car?
The cooling system moves the heat (thermal energy) to the air.
