What is the main reason the chemical energy of a fuel is never entirely converted to mechanical energy in an engine?

Physics
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Option A) Some of the energy is lost as heat

Explanation:

Energy conversion is not always 100% accurate. In engines, due to the friction generated as machine parts roll over another some of the chemical energy of the fuel is lost as heat. That is why machine parts are lubricated to reduce friction, and then energy loss.

Thus, 100% chemical energy does not yield 100% mechanical energy, as some are lost as heat.

I've seen a lot of questions with missing numbers before, but I think this is the first time I ever saw a question where even the number of significant digits to round the answer to is missing.

"Round your answer to _____ significant digits."
