The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally. The engine turns the explosion that takes place into Horsepower & Torque. Torque gets the car moving and Horspower keeps it moving.

What form of energy is generated when gasoline is burned in a car engine and the car moves?
kinetic energy is created
What types of car engines exist?
There are a number of different types of car engines. Some of these engine types are Straight/Inline engines, V type engines, Rotary engines and diesel engines.
What are all the engines in a car?
There are so many you need a car make and model to tell you what engines are for that? all car engines are of the internal combustion type, fueled by gasoline.
When gasoline is burned in a car engine and the car moveswhat energy is generated?
The chemical energy (the fuel) turns into kinetic energy (the car moving) and heat energy(given off by burning fuel).
What is the motor converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
What is the motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
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.
What type of energy does a car use?
Gasoline.:):):)
What type of energy does a car battery contain?
What type of energy is the sun.
What is a device that changes thermal energy into mechanical energy?
Heat engines like your lawn mover or car a combustion engine.
Why does a car has to have a silencer?
Because it cuts down the noise of the fuel exploding in the cylinder ! Without silencers, the noise generated from vehicle engines would be horrendous !
How does the steam car work?
Like all engines the fuel makes energy which makes torqe then that pushes the car forward
