What else can I help you with?
Why do cars trucks and planes need thermal energy?
So that the engine doesnt freeze.
What machine or appliance uses thermal energy?
The generic name is "heat engine". Examples include combustion engines, such as the ones used in cars.
What kind of energy does cars use?
Cars use chemical energy in the form of thermal energy which is used to drive a piston crankshaft arrangement
What causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.
What does gasoline have that cars need?
Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
What happens to the wasted thermal energy in a car?
The wasted thermal energy in a car is primarily dissipated as heat through the exhaust system, radiator, and engine components. It is released into the surrounding environment, contributing to overall heat pollution. Some modern cars also utilize technologies like regenerative braking to recapture and convert a portion of this waste heat back into useful energy.
Which energy source is most important for cars?
Fossil fuels
Which energy source is most important in cars?
Hydrocarbon fuel.
What type of energy source is gasoline?
Gasoline is a Mechanical energy because gasoline can make cars move and cars are moving things.
Why does your car stay hot?
because cars create thermal energy. (basic GCSE science)
What is a cars energy source?
Ultimately the Sun. Cars run on fossil fuels which is made from the remains of organism that lived and grew on the planet in the past. These living organisms depended on sunlight as the source of their energy.
Which energy source do you use to fuel most of your cars?
Fossil fuels
