Question

a car engine uses the combustion of fuel to move a system of gears that move its wheels. not all of the fuels energy is transferred to the wheels. which two transformations happen to the rest of the energy? a. it is transformed into nuclear energy b. it is transformed into thermal energy c. it is transformed into chemical energy d. it is transformed into sound energy e. it is transformed into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When a car engine burns fuel, some energy is used to move the wheels (kinetic energy). The remaining energy is dissipated in other forms. Heat is generated during combustion, so thermal energy is produced. Also, the engine makes noise during operation, which is sound energy. Nuclear energy is not involved in a typical car - engine combustion process, and the fuel already has chemical energy which is being released, not formed from the remaining energy.

Answer:

B. It is transformed into thermal energy, D. It is transformed into sound energy
