The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.
What is kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as
K.E = 1/2 mv²
Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.
The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.
The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.
In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.
Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process
