An energy efficient car can use gasoline, diesel, CNG, or electricity as a fuel.
Kick it
In a Diesel powered car, chemical energy powers the car. Chemical energy heats food on a gas cooker. Chemical energy delivers electrical energy in a battery. Chemical energy powers a living organism.
gas or electricity can do that!!!
The form of energy that powers a car is called Chemical energy.Examples of Chemical energy include: using food, batteries, and of course, gasoline for your car.Other types of Energy: Mechanical Energy, Thermal Energy, Electrical Energy, Radiant Energy, Nuclear Energy, Acoustic Energy, and Chemical Energy.
most cars aren't ENERGY efficiant but some are GAS efficiant.
An energy transfer diagram for winding up a clockwork car would show the transfer of mechanical energy input to potential energy stored in the clockwork mechanism. As the key is turned, mechanical work is done to wind up the spring in the mechanism, storing potential energy. When released, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the car moves.
If a car wasted 75% of it's energy, it's very efficient, as the energy is moving itself away from the car, which means the car would need more fuel to have more energy in the car, so it can get running again.
Car batteries are seldom charged by solar energy. Normally, they are charged by the engine of the car, which powers an alternator, providing electrical power.
Most of the energy is lost as heat.
It means 25 percent of the energy consumed to power the car is turned into useful energy. So if it is 100% efficient, then you can say that it will go 4 times as fast as a 25% efficient car. (not realistic because there are a lot of other variables)
