: A [[car]] has a [[Speedometer]] speedometer which [[measure]]s the [[speed]] of the [[car]].
==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A [[car]] is a 4 wheeled [[vehicle]] used to transport people between two locations.
===About Cars===
===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]]/[[battery]] 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|thermal energy store]] of the [[engine]].
====Decelerating====
===Forces===
====Accelerating====
: When a '''car''' [[accelerate]]s the [[engine]] provides a [[Driving Force|driving force]] causing a [[Mechanical Energy Transfer|mechanical energy transfer]].
====Decelerating====
: When a '''car''' [[decelerate]]s the brakes provide a [[force]] causing a [[Mechanical Energy Transfer|mechanical energy transfer]].
