The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion
so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion
from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine.
Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.
There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine
in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an
external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a
steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam
creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more
efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an
internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external
combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars using steam
engines.
To understand the basic idea behind how a reciprocating internal
combustion engine works, it is helpful to have a good mental image of
how "internal combustion" works.
One good example is an old Revolutionary War cannon. You have probably
seen these in movies, where the soldiers load the cannon with gun powder
and a cannon ball and light it. That is internal combustion, but it is
hard to imagine that having anything to do with engines.
A potato cannon uses the basic principle behind any reciprocating
internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel
(like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible
amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use
that energy to propel a potato 500 feet. In this case, the energy is
translated into potato motion. You can also use it for more interesting
purposes. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set
off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can
harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car
engine! </span>
Gravitation is the attractive force existing between any two objects that have mass. The force of gravitation pulls objects together. Gravity is the gravitational force that occurs between the earth and other bodies. Gravity is the force acting to pull objects toward the earth.
I believe all the insulators would be glass, wood, plastic, and yarn.
But I’m not entirely sure if mechanical pencil lead is an insulator or conductor.
Hope this helps.
The speed of sound on planet is 210 m/s.

What is Oscillation?</h3>
Oscillation is the repeating or periodic change of a quantity around a central value or between two or more states, often in time. Alternating current and a swinging pendulum are two common examples of oscillation.
There are 3 main types of Oscillation –
- Free
- damped
- forced oscillation
f = frequency = 600 Hz
lambda = wavelength = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Now,
V = speed = f × lambda = 210 m/s
Hence, speed of sound on planet is 210 m/s.

The first option.
The total mechanical energy before an action (which makes up PE and KE) equals the total mechanical energy after an action.
So
KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf
