When fuels are burned they transfer energy what type of energy is in the fuel and what energy is it converted into when its burned?
The energy that is contained in a consumable fuel (like gasoline) is chemical energy. The energy that it is converted into when it is burned is heat energy.
What is a nonrenewable resource that is burned to provide humans with energy?
Coal is a nonrenewable resource that is burned to provide humans with energy.
Which types of fuels give out energy when burned?
I know that RadioActive gives the MOST energy even if 1 gram is burned!
Which may be true for a substance that absorbs energy?
The energy decreases the molecular motion and the kinetic energy of the substance.
How is stored chemical energy converted into thermal energy when coal is burned to make steam?
It's converted by the coal being burned.
What substance which can be burned to release energy is called a?
fats
A substance that can be burned to release heat energy?
Many substances can be burned to release heat energy, pretty much anything. However, water or ice is one that can not.
Is the amount of energy released when nutrients are burned?
The amount of energy released when nutrients are burned is called a calorie. A wax, fat like substance with the body is a cholesterol.
Explain the type of energy released when fossil fuels are burned?
Basically the same as when any substance burns. Mainly heat energy.
How does energy move from one level to the next?
Energy is transferred from one level to the next as organisms are consumed. The transfer is inefficient as 90% of the stored energy is lost as heat when that stored energy is burned.

How many MMBTU is equivalent to Normal cubic meters?
The "BTU" is a unit of energy. The "MMBTU" is a million of them ... still a quantity of energy. The "cubic meter" is a unit of volume. If the substance filling the volume is named ... and its pressure also specified in the case of a gas ... then it's possible to begin calculating the quantity of energy available when the substance is burned.
