Car's normally get their energy from gasoline, or a similar fuel - which stores the energy as chemical energy.

How was energy conserved during mouse trap car races?

the elastic potential energy of the spring on the mouse trap is changed to kinetic energy, causing the car to move. The kinetic energy in turn changes to thermal energy as friction causes the car to come to a halt


Energy in the form of moition is?

The energy you put into something to make it move at a steady speed is called KINETIC ENERGY. It's the Kinetic Energy of a car that makes the brakes hot when you try to stop. The kinetic energy of the moving car becomes heat in the brakes of the stationary car which has lost its kinetic energy. There are two ways to get a car to the top of a hill. One is to start at the bottom and drive the car to the top and then stop again. This way, the engine pushed the car up the hill. The other way is to start a long way before the hill and build up speed along a flat road. Then you can turn off the engine and the car will coast to the top of the hill before it stops. This way, the engine put a lot of Kinetic Energy into the weight of the car before it got to the hill, and it was that Kinetic Energy which was used to get the car up the hill.


Is a real car a kinetic energy?

No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.


Is a race-car traveling at its maximum speed potential or kinetic energy?

A car is not energy; it may have energy. The energy related to movement is called kinetic energy.


What will a car's kinetic energy be if the car's speed triples?

The Kinetic Energy Stays The Same

Can you drive a car with out a throwout bearing?

No, the throw out bearing in a clutch is needed to keep an disengaged clutch spinning. you can drive a car with a bad throwout bearing if you don't use the clutch By "floating the gears". You must disconnect or bypass the start safety switch (this is when you need to have the clutch pedal to the floor to start the moter) so that you can start the car in gear if you come to a complete stop.


Why would car heater stop and start?

How does a car battery function?

A car battery's function is to store electrical energy for your vehicle. When you start the car the stored energy in the battery turns your car over and once your car starts the alternater will power everything and recharge the battery.


Why would a car only ignite but not start?

Because your batery does not have much energy to make the car roar to life.


Car won't start hear noise?

Do the lights come on? Do you have correct operating voltage? What type of car is it? Does the car crank but not start? Do the error lights come on and dim while in the start position? Please answer 1 or some of the questions and I will be able to answer with a more accurate answer or possible solution.
