Answer:
The answer is c) chemical potencial energy
Explanation:
The elastic potencial energy is the energy that results from applying a force to deform an elastic object, for example a spring that can be compressed or stretched.
Atoms are the smallest particles into which a chemical element can be divided. In the nucleus of each atom there are two types of particles: neutrons and protons. Nuclear potential energy is the energy that is in the nucleus and holds together protons and neutrons.
The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body has when it is under the action of gravity. For example, if you drop a tennis ball at a certain height from the ground, you will observe that it will fall and hit the ground. This is due to the action of gravity.
And finally, the chemical potential energy is the energy present in a chemical reaction, where the reagents absorb or release energy when transformed into products. When gasoline burns in an engine, combustion is taking place, that is, a chemical process. So, this is the type of energy that is converted when gasoline burns.
