Question

in a car engine, what type of energy is converted to kinetic energy? chemical energy electrical energy nuclear energy thermal energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, fuel (which has chemical energy) undergoes combustion. The chemical bonds in the fuel are broken, and energy is released. This energy is then used to do work (move the car), which is kinetic energy. Electrical energy in a car is mainly for starting the engine (like the spark plug uses electrical energy for ignition but it's not the main energy converted to kinetic). Nuclear energy is not used in regular car engines. Thermal energy is a by - product (heat is generated during combustion), but the primary energy conversion to kinetic is from chemical energy.

Answer:

Chemical energy
