If it's not already moving, then it takes force to make it start.
If it is already moving, and there's nothing making it stop,
then it doesn't take anything to keep it moving.

∙ 14y agoCars basically get their energy to move from igniting gasoline in their engine so that it explodes, and using this pressure to power a hydraulic system. It does this by using a spark plug to make the gas combust. Then the explosion pushes a piston, which pushes fluids to another object with a larger surface area. That will then cause the basic functions of an automobile.

∙ 14y agoBecause the tires are pushing backwards. The equal and opposite reaction is for the axle of the tire to move forward. The axle is, of course, connected to the car. This is Newton's third law of motion.

∙ 14y agoThe engine pushes the axis which turns the wheels forward, causing the car to move. So when the engine pushes the axis the car moves.

How does radiant energy move?
radiant energy move by waves
What kid of energy is converted into kinetic energy in bumper cars?
Electrical energy.
How heat energy changes into other forms of energy?
Heat energy could be used to produce steam. The steam could be used to spin turbines and thus producing mechanical energy (to be used to move e.g submarines and/or ice breakers). The mechanical energy could move electric generators to produce electric energy. Another option is to use heat energy to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen could be used to produce electric energy (through fuel cells) or to produce mechanical energy (in cars and buses and other vehicles)
Will pushing on a car always change the cars mechanical energy what must happen for the cars kinetic energy to increase?
I don't know
How is electrical energy transformation into light energy for a stove element?
the cars
What type of energy source is gasoline?
Gasoline is a Mechanical energy because gasoline can make cars move and cars are moving things.
How do you know that there is energy in gasoline?
Because it take energy to move a car and cars run on gasoline.
How do solar powered cars work?
they obsorb the suns energy and that's what makes it move
Why do cars need fuel?
Fuel is material which is processed (usually 'burnt') to produce energy - heat or power. To move a car takes energy - and that has to be supplied by the fuel.
Why are engines such as the st205 important to have in cars?
Combustion engines allow a car to transfer potential energy stored in gasoline into mechanical energy that powers the pistons to turn a cars' wheels. Simply put, engines, such as the high performance st205 used by Toyota, allow cars to move.
What energy cars need to work?
the energy that cars get is from the fuel
Why is a roller coaster using mechanical energy?
uase it just does. The cars move. Motion of material things IS kinetic energy.
Why is energy the most important part of the cycles of the universe?
Energy is an important cycle that is used in the universe. Energy is how everything and everyone moves and works. Without energy, objects would not move, cars would not work, and everything would be useless.
Why do cars have circle wheels?
Cars have circular wheels to move the easiest. Because of the circle's shape, the wheels can rotate easily. If they were not circles, it would take a great amount of work and energy to get the wheel to rotate.
What forms of wasted energy are produced by cars?
Heat is a waste energy from cars- from the engines and from the brakes.
How do cars use thermal energy?
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.
How do cars move without gas?
make it electric cars
