Best Answer

All sorts of changes in the form of energy happen when you drive a car. The engine converts the chemical energy of the gasoline into heat energy. The pistons convert that energy into kinetic energy. Friction turns that energy back into heat, which is lost into the atmosphere. When you go up or down a hill, you also convert some kinetic energy into potential energy, or vise versa.
