A mixture of gasoline and air enters the cylinders where it is ignited by a spark plug. The explosion, or combustion it creates, drives the piston downward turning a crankshaft which turns the transmission which in turn powers the drive wheels on the vehicle propelling it forward or backward. This is why the engine is called an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion reactions power the car. The gasoline ignites, and the spark creates the power for the car.
Gasoline, diesel or electric - it's all fossil fuel power.
Yes, burning gasoline in an engine to power a car is a chemical change. The gasoline undergoes combustion, reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of heat that powers the engine.
cars get power from gasoline because when the gas enters the cylinder the spark plug explodes the gas which pushes the piston down and turns the crank shaft which moves the car

Gasoline. They convert this into electricity before it is used to power the car.
no
Look up internal combustion engine - Otto cycle.
Multiple power sources, typically gasoline and electric.
Some hybrid cars have just as much power as regular cars. They use gasoline for power when it is needed, or the electric component can produce enough power.
Hybrid technology simply means that rather than running on only gasoline or only battery power the car runs on a combination of the two. Generally at low speeds and at a stand still such as a traffic light the car runs on battery power whereas at high speeds the car will run on gasoline.
The first hybrid car (built in 1899) used a gasoline engine to supply power to an electric motor that drove the car's front wheels.
