What happens to the kinetic energy of a car when it is braked to a stop?

The energy is generally converted to unusable energy, mainly heat. It is also possible to design special brakes that recover part of the kinetic energy, for example storing it in a battery, in a flywheel, etc., but this is not common.

What happens to sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
its particles stop moving around because of loosing kinetic energy. As you know kinetic energy is something that moves around .And particles in sample of matter cool off and stop.
Can kinetic energy be converted into elastic energy?
Certainly. That's exactly what happens when you fall into the middle of a trampoline. As the stretchy fabric absorbs your kinetic energy, you slow down, and you eventually stop when all of your kinetic energy is stored in the trampoline as elastic energy. Then the elastic energy transfers back and becomes your kinetic energy, as you go sailing again.
How does kinetic energy stop?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be converted into other forms. When you want to get rid of kinetic energy, we normally use a brake, which converts the kinetic energy into heat energy through friction. With some hybrid automobiles, they use "regenerative braking" to convert the kinetic energy of motion back into electrical energy in the batteries.
Is flowing water kinetic or potential energy?
well when you swim you are moving witch has to do with konetic ,and patenchal is when u stop and store the energy soo the awnser is yess
What type of energy destroys other energies?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted to other forms of energy. There is potential energy and kinetic energy. Sitting on your bicycle on top of the hill you have no kinetic energy, only potential energy. When you ride down the hill, the potential energy is used up (you go down the hill) and it converts to kinetic energy (speed). "What happens when you stop at the bottom of the hill - wasn't the potential and kinetic energy destroyed?" No. All the potential energy was converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy was converted to heat through the wind resistance. So, if you had an extremely accurate thermometer, you would see the air and bicycle temperature rise as you went down the hill.

What happens to the kinetic energy of a skateboard that is coasting along a flat surface slows down and coming to a stop?
it change into potential energy beace it slows down
A rollar coaster stop at the top of the hill What can you infer about its kinetic energy?
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
How do brakes stop a car?
Friction converts kinetic energy into heat energy.

What are the energy transformations of a roller coaster that comes to a stop?
Its a transformation of kinetic energy to potential energy.
What is the kinetic energy of the free falling object that eventually stop on reaching the ground?
Once the object has reached the ground, its kinetic energy is zero.

What type of energy occurs when you hit the brakes on a bike?
i think it is kinetic energy to thermal energy.
