Answer:
The answer is c) chemical potencial energy
Explanation:
The <em>elastic potencial energy</em> 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. <em>Nuclear potential energy</em> is the energy that is in the nucleus and holds together protons and neutrons.
The <em>gravitational potential energy</em> 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 <u><em>
chemical potential energy</em></u> 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.
