The car crashers into the tree beginning with kinetic energy which is soon converted into sound, heat, wave and kinetic energy. Heat energy creates friction when the car skids as the driver tries to dodge the tree at the last second. When the engine gets crumpled back towards the passenger compartment it also has heat energy which causes friction. Sound energy is created when the car hit the tree and also when it skids across the road. Wave energy is produced when the car collides with the tree which causes the metal parts of the car to crumple causing a wave of impact throughout the car. Kinetic energy is produced when the car hits the tree.
