The braking force x stopping distance (assuming constant braking force) is equal to the loss of kinetic energy of the vehicle.
And if it's not constant, you can integrate the dot product of the force vector and the differential x-vector.
If you want the power of heat generation, you will need to find how much energy is being dissipated (i.e. how much kinetic energy is lost) per unit of time.

When an object loses kinetic energy due to a force of kinetic friction is the loss of kinetic energy transformed primarily into potential or thermal energy?
Kinetic friction is associated with thermal energy (and sound or light).
Why is there kinetic energy?
because there is kinetic energy.
Does mind have kinetic energy?
No, the mind does not possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy that is created by a force or motion.
How does an airplane flying have kinetic energy?
It has kinetic energy because it is moving. Just because it is in the air doesn't mean that it can't have kinetic energy.
What is kinetic energy-?
Kinetic energy is energy that is posessed by a moving mass.
When an object loses kinetic energy due to a force of kinetic friction is the loss of kinetic energy transformed primarily into potential or thermal energy?
Kinetic friction is associated with thermal energy (and sound or light).
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
What is the momentum of marbles after collision?
Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).
Why the energy transfer from electrical energy to kinetic energy in a motor is not 100 percent?
There is energy loss in heating up the wires in the motor.
The potential energy of a freely falling body decreases continuouslyWhat happens to the loss of potential energy?
It becomes kinetic energy. And as an object goes up against gravity, it gains potential energy and loses kinetic energy.
What energy is kinetic energy changed to in a car crash?
Potential energy than heat, sound and, of course, there is a loss in potential energy of broken materials...
What kind of energy is energy motion?
It is kinetic energy.
Energy an object has due to its motion?
kinetic energyThe energy of motion is kinetic energy.
What happenes in an inelastic collision?
In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.
Suppose a falling object loses 7J of potential energy. How much kinetic energy will it gain?
From what I understand: PE - Potential Energy (mgh) KE - Kinetic Energy (1/2 mv2) If one dismisses the friction with air (conservation of energy), a loss of 7 joules for potential energy means a gain of 7 Joules in kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy of?
Motion.
The kinetic energy of a substance is the what kinetic energy of its particles?
The kinetic energy of a substance is the average kinetic energy of its particles.
