Question

suppose a car of 1200kg is moving with a velocity of 40km/hr therefore its kinetic energy is not zero. 1. explain briefly what happens to its kinetic energy when the driver applies the breaks and the car stops​

Answer 1

KInetic energy reduces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Application of breaks reduces velocity. Reduction of velocity constitutes velocity reduction.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For starters begin with a warning not to touch the brake drums. All of the KE is transferred to the brake drums. The result is a large rise in temperature. Heat. If you press hard on the brakes, rubber is left on the road and there is heat involved in that too.
