Chemical energy (stored in the bonds of the molecules).

When it burns, a lot of that energy becomes heat and a lot of that heat gets converted to internal energy as the hot combusted gas products reach high pressure with increasing temperature. The pressure pushes the pistons (kinetic energy) which translates to mechanical energy, which moves the car - which has kinetic energy as it moves.

3 What type of energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill?

Potential energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill. This type of energy is due to the car's height above the ground and its potential to do work as it moves downhill.


Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?

Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.


What type of energy is lost as a car goes up a hill?

As a car goes up a hill, kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy. Additionally, some energy is lost as thermal energy due to friction in the engine and between the tires and the road. This energy loss manifests as heat, reducing the car's overall efficiency as it climbs the incline.


What types of energy goes into a car?

chemical energy


What type of energy is in a car?

The type of energy that is in a car is mechanical energy, chemical energy (because it consumes petrol), and sound energy.


A car coasts up a hill. As it climbs it slows down. Which type of energy is the car losing as it goes up?

The car is losing kinetic energy as it climbs the hill. This kinetic energy is being transferred into potential energy due to the increasing height gained during the climb.


What type of energy does a car use?

Gasoline.:):):)


Which of these scenarios involving a car is an example of kinetic energy?

A car moving along a highway at a constant speed is an example of kinetic energy. It is the energy possessed by the car due to its motion.


What type of energy is used to get the roller coaster car up the first hill?

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.


Does the tires you use on a crossover vehicles effect the performance of the car on the highway?

Yes, the type of tires always matter when it comes to a car. The tread on the tires depend on how it grips the road and depending on which type of tire you have determines how well the car handles on the highway.


What are the physics principles involved when a car goes over a hill?

When a car goes over a hill, the physics principles involved include potential energy, kinetic energy, and centripetal force. As the car goes up the hill, potential energy increases due to its height. At the top of the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car accelerates downward. Centripetal force keeps the car moving in a curved path as it goes over the hill.
