Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into?
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from where?
Fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the sun.
Does burning of fossil fuels release light energy?
Oil, gas and coal burning always releases light or radiant energy. This is due to the high temperature of the burning material in the flame, it becomes incandescent.
What are two environmental disadvantage to burning fossil fuels to provide energy?
There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels. These include pollution and also burning fossil fuels has a mesurable cooling effect on the climate.There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels.

What is the energy transformation that occurs with the burning of fossil fuels?
Energy transformation involved in terms of industrial processes of burning fuel to make energy.
Does burning petrol release energy?
Petrol is a fossil fuel made from crude oil and burning fossil fuels produce energy so yes burning petrol does release energy.
What can you do to reduce burning of fossil fuels?
Lower the energy consumption and/or switch to non-fossil energy.
What releases the chemical energy in fossil fuels?
Burning them releases the chemical energy.
When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.

Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
Does energy come from burning fossil fuels?
Yes, certainly it does
Is burning wood for energy better than burning fossil fuels for energy?
No,because the trees are limited and used for oxygen.
What is Energy that is not produced by burning fossil fuels or wood?
This kind of energy is called renewable energy.
How can energy be made without burning fossil fuels?
well, you have renewable energy such as wind power, wave power etc... all this generates electricity without burning fossil fuels
What are the two main sources of energy that give to the national grid?
nuclear energy and burning fossil fuels to push turbines that make electricity. ************************************************* the two main sources are burning lots of fossil fuels and nuclear energy
The burning of fossil fuels does not release- Potential energy Light energy Sound energy Heat energy?
sound energy???
When a fossil fuels is burn energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).
