(e) The car engine uses gasoline (petrol) to do work to move the car along the road.

Complete the sentence below that describes the useful energy change as the car moves.

The gasoline provides ........................................................................... energy that is changed

into the ........................................................................... energy of the moving car.

(b) The water in the U-tube is at the same level on each side when the water-bath is at 20 °C.
As the temperature in the water-bath increases, the water levels in the U-tube change.

(i) Predict how the water levels in the U-tube look when the temperature has increased.

Draw your prediction on Fig. 6.2.
