Question

Unless the gasoline tank of a car is refilled, the car will stop moving when it runs out of gas. What happened to the energy that was stored in the gasoline? a. It was eventually destroyed. b. It was converted into matter. c. It was transfered to the roadway. d. It was converted to mechanical energy and heat.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is option d.

Explanation: Energy stored into gasoline is converted into another form of energy. This was very well explained on the basis of Law of conservation of energy. This law states that energy is conserved in the system which means that energy is converted from one form to another form.

The energy stored into gasoline is converted into mechanical energy which helps the car to move and some of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.
