The kinetic energy of a moving car is less than the amount of chemical potential energy that is released when fuel is burilied in the engine. Which
statement best explains why this is so?
O A. The force of gravity transforms some kinetic energy into
gravitational potential energy.
O B. More of the car's energy is transformed into potential energy the
faster it goes.
O C. Some chemical energy is transformed into potential energy as the
particles in the fuel are rearranged.
D. Friction causes some of the energy released by the fuel to be
transformed into thermal energy.
