MOTION
It turns into energy
Chemical energy in the petrol is converted to heat energy by igniting it with air. This causes an expansion of the gases which creates kinetic enrgy by moving pistons which connect to a crankshaft.
No, energy conversions always involve a transfer of energy from one form to another. Some energy will always be lost in the form of heat or other forms of energy during the conversion process, due to factors like inefficiencies in the system or resistance.
a controlled explosion (combustion) of fuel and air ignites expnds and is converted to rotational torque (power)
A flashlight converts chemical energy stored in batteries to electrical energy, which is then converted to light energy through a bulb or LED. Heat energy may also be produced as a byproduct of these conversions.
It helps to think about the purpose of an electric motor. It is designed to move things, so it produces mechanical energy. As the name suggests, such a motor gets its energy from electrical energy.
When a piece of wood burns, the chemical energy stored in the wood is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy. The process involves the breaking of chemical bonds in the wood, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
I think is a fuel in a substance that provides to form of energy such as heat, light, electricity, or motion as the result of a chemical change.

When the switch is closed in an electric circuit, electrical energy from the source is converted into other forms of energy. For example, the electrical energy is converted into light and heat in a light bulb, or into mechanical energy in a motor.
The kinetic energy of the moving air molecules (wind) is converted into mechanical energy as the wind turns the blades of the windmill. The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy as the rotating blades spin a generator inside the windmill.
Chemical potential energy in the battery is converted to actual electrical energy which is converted to magnetic potential energy in the starter, producing mechanical kinetic energy in the gears which turn the motor over. The turning of the motor closes switches (kinetic) and moves valves (kinetic) which produce high energy voltage (potential) from the battery power which cause sparks in the cylinders (electrical) which in moving have drawn in gasoline vapor mixed with air (potential chemical energy) which when ignited produces linear kinetic energy in the moving cylinders, which push the cranks of the crank shaft to make rotational kinetic energy. The flywheel moves with the crank shaft storing potential energy which is released a fraction of a second later in keeping the engine turning while pushing up the cylinders to compress the vapor. Meanwhile, the spinning of the alternator by a belt pushes electricity into the battery were it is converted back to chemical potential energy for next time.
