It uses both potential energy and kinetic energy.
Gasoline is used for the energy to power a car.
Energy stored in gasoline is converted to heat, then to the kinetic energy of the car.
The main type of energy used when a car drives on a flat road is kinetic energy, which is the energy associated with its motion. The engine converts potential energy stored in the fuel to kinetic energy to propel the car forward. Additional energy is used for other functions like maintaining speed, overcoming air resistance, and rolling resistance.
The type of energy that is in a car is mechanical energy, chemical energy (because it consumes petrol), and sound energy.
Gasoline.:):):)
What type of energy is the sun.
I would think you are referring to chemical energy going through a transition to kinetic energy. Hope that is what you were after.
Potential energy is used to get the roller coaster car up the first hill. The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the car goes down the hill. The potential energy is typically provided by a motor or chain lift system.
it uses kinetic energy, however some energy is used as heat and sound
That really depends on the type of car; however, as of 2013, most cars use gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or some similar fuel, so they use the chemical energy stored in the fuel.
atopno......it is chemical energy which is being converted into electrical energy....
Kinetic energy
