EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -It burns the fuel and produces mechanical energy which enables the vehicle to move. Hence, the engine converts chemical energy to mechanical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -When gasoline is burned, the process of burning releases thermal energy. A tank of gasoline itself has potential chemical energy. The bonds between the atoms and molecules of the gasoline break when it is burned, releasing energy and heat. This release of energy is called thermal energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once the fuel is subjected to ignition and then combustion, gases expand which moves the piston. Moving piston now rotates the crankshaft, which ultimately drives the vehicle’s wheels through the system of gears. Accordingly heat energy from the fuel combustion is transformed to mechanical energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The engine converts various forms of fuels into mechanical force, while the motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.”
