Internal combustion engines use the oxidation of vaporized fuel to release thermal energy. This energy causes the gases present to expand rapidly, and this expansion is converted to mechanical energy by the pistons as they move up and down on the camshaft.
Cars use chemical energy in the form of thermal energy which is used to drive a piston crankshaft arrangement
we use thermal energy by measuring temperature
We can use thermal energy in cooking food , in heat etc. thanks
We studied about thermal energy.
people use thermal energy to cook and heat our bodies and for hot air balloons
thermal energy
So that the engine doesnt freeze.
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.

To calculate thermal energy from kinetic energy, you can use the equation: Thermal energy 1/2 mass velocity2. This formula relates the kinetic energy of an object (determined by its mass and velocity) to the thermal energy it produces.
Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
