Question

11 A car is driven on a long journey along a flat, horizontal road. The car stops several times on the
journey and its engine becomes hot.
Which type of energy does not change during the journey?
A the chemical energy in the fuel tank
the gravitational energy of the car
c the internal (thermal) energy of the engine
B
D the kinetic energy of the car

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because the gravity is the one pulling the car to the ground so it doesnot change

The same same thing happens to the chemical energy in the engine it doesnot change as it is the one that makes the car to move from one place to another

Answer 2

Option B is correct that is the gravitational energy of the car does not change.

(A) The chemical energy in the fuel tank gets converted into thermal energy heating up the engine and mechanical energy which helps moving the car.

(B) Gravitational energy is due to the force of gravitation between the car and the earth and depends on their respective masses which does not change as the car moves.

(C) The internal energy is proportional to thermal energy. the thermal energy of the engine increases which means its internal energy also increases.

(D) The kinetic energy of the car changes as it moves and stops.
