What happens to the thermal energy in a car?

The cooling system moves the heat (thermal energy) to the air.


When is Thermal Energy waste?

An example: When applying the brakes on a moving car (kinetic energy,) the Brake Pads and Disks heat (thermal energy) from the friction, as do the tires and the road (again, friction. All the Thermal Energy created, is waste or wasted.


What is the wasted energy from a car engine?

heat and sound


What kind of energy in car engine?

Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.


Is all the energy in gasoline used to run the car?

No. A lot of the energy in the gasoline is wasted.


Is a battery car example of thermal energy?

No.


What is the wasted energy from a rocket?

The wasted energy in a car is electrical energy


Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?

Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.


Most of the chemical energy of the gasoline burned in a car is not used to move the car but is changed into what?

Heat energy is mostly produced - and wasted.


How can a car convert thermal energy to kinetic energy?

By eating cookies and chips


If a car wastes 75 percent of its energy how efficent is it?

If a car wasted 75% of it's energy, it's very efficient, as the energy is moving itself away from the car, which means the car would need more fuel to have more energy in the car, so it can get running again.


How do you we waste energy if it can't be destroyed?

You are'nt destroying energy when u wasted it. It is converted into another form of energy. ie.( when you are driving a car, the car's kinetic energy is wasted because it is reduced by the friction encountered, however the reduced kinetic energy is converted into heat energy) Hence, Energy can neither be destroyed nor created.
