What energy takes place when a car's engine burns gasoline?
It goes from potential(before being burnt) to chemical(being burnt), to mechanical, with the pressure pushing the piston down.
How does energy make a car go down the street by what kind of energy?
The gasoline engine in the car burns gasoline. This chemical reaction produces energy which is converted to mechanical energy and drives the car down the street. More precisely, the gasoline burns very rapidly in the cylinders and produces gas which expands and forces the pistons to move. The movement of the pistons in the cylinders causes the crack shaft to turn due to the cranking action of the crank case. The turning of the crank shaft turns the wheels by means of a linkage of gears.
