A car engine transforms chemical energy into kinetic energy. The petrol is combined with air in the engine and set alight in an explosion. the force of the expanding gasses caused by this ignition pushes a piston which in turn turns the drive shaft and hence the wheels around.

What kind of energy makes the car move?
electric energy,by useing the charged lead battaries. The chemical energy from the gasoline is transferred to all of the moving parts in the engine, which provides power to turn the axles and make the car move.
What kind of energy does headlights of a car have?
light energy
Can one form of energy be converted to another?
Yes, it can be converted into another kind of Energy. Example: The chemical energy of petroleum is converted to mechanical energy in a car engine with some loss as heat and sound energy. The mechanical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What kind of energy in the fuel of a rocket engine?
potential chemical energy
What kind of energy does a moving car have?
kinetic
What kind of useful energy is this transformed into by a car engine?
Torque and horsepower.
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 kind of machine converts chemical energy to mechanical energy?
A steam engine would be one example, a motor car engine would be another.
The process of burning gas in a car engine to release what kind of energy?
Initially thermal energy which then causes the gases in the cylinders to expand and produce mechanical energy
What kind of energy makes the car move?
electric energy,by useing the charged lead battaries. The chemical energy from the gasoline is transferred to all of the moving parts in the engine, which provides power to turn the axles and make the car move.
What kind of energy does headlights of a car have?
light energy
What kind of energy transfer does a car have?
mechanical energy
Gasoline in a car is what kind of energy?
chemical energy
The process of burning gas in a car engine to release what kind of energy physical or chemical?
Neither, the process of burning gas (which stores chemical energy) releases that energy as "HEAT" energy. This heat energy is then converted into mechanical energy.
When you put gas in your car and drive you are converting what kind of energy into what kind of energy?
Chemical energy into mechanical energy
What is a energy transformation in a car engine?
The chemical energy is transformed in kinetic energy.
What energy form does a car engine transform from chemical energy?
Chemical energy transforms to kinetic energy which makes the car move.
