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.
Torque and horsepower.
A steam engine would be one example, a motor car engine would be another.
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.
Initially thermal energy which then causes the gases in the cylinders to expand and produce mechanical energy
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.
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.
