===Energy Transfers===
====Accelerating====
: When a '''car ''' [[accelerate]]s [[energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] usefully from the [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy store]] of the [[fuel]] to the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the car. However, [[energy]] is [[Wasted Energy|wasted]] when it is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] from the [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy store]] of the [[fuel]] to the [[Thermal Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the [[engine]].
====Decelerating====
===Forces===
: When a '''car ''' [[accelerate]]s the [[engine]] provides a [[Driving Force|driving force]]causing a [[Mechanical Energy Transfer|mechanical energy transfer]]. : When a '''car''' [[decelerate]]s the brakes provide a [[force]] causing a [[Mechanical Energy Transfer|mechanical energy transfer]].
