How can total energy be conserved while energy of motion is not?
If you think of a car, fuel is burnt to make the car move. Chemical energy into kinetic energy. The reason the car stops when the fuel runs out is because the car is having to work against forces acting against it like friction with the road, air resistance and gravity acting on it's own mass.The cars motion or kinetic energy is converted into kinetic energy in the particles in the air and heat due to friction.
Is the total energy of the car always conserved?
Basically, in physics, total energy is always conserved. Of course, it is possible for some of the energy from a car to go somewhere else.
How is energy conserved when a car hits another car during an accident?
Most of the mechanical (or kinetic) energy is converted to heat.
How can you tell if your car runs out of gas?
it stops working
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
How is energy conserved when a car is going down a hill with no brakes?
The engine doesn't have to use as much fuel when the car is traveling downhill.
How is energy conserved when a car slows down?
When a car slows down, its kinetic energy decreases as it loses speed. This kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat generated by the brakes and friction between the tires and the road. Thus, energy is conserved through this conversion process.
When car stops the brakes heat up because of friction. What is the am example of?
When a car stops and the brakes heat up due to friction, it is an example of the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy. The friction between the brake pads and the rotors generates heat as the car's motion is resisted, illustrating the principles of energy transformation and the work-energy theorem in physics.
When brakes are used to stop a car what is in effect?
When brakes are used to stop a car, friction is created between the brake pads and the brake rotors, which slows down the rotation of the wheels. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the car into thermal energy, dissipating heat in the process. This heat is what ultimately stops the car by reducing its speed.
Your car Chevy blazer runs fine but as soon as you apply the brakes the engine stops.?
Check for vacuum leak
What if an electric car runs out of battery?
it stops working until it gets changed again. but if its a hybrid then the petrol kicks in
Comparison between elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, all initial kinetic energy is fully restored as final kinetic energy. where nothing is converted into noise, heat or any other form of energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is "lost" to thermal or sound energy.
