What energy transformations occur in a car?
Mechanical
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.
Energy in the form of moition is?
The energy you put into something to make it move at a steady speed is called KINETIC ENERGY. It's the Kinetic Energy of a car that makes the brakes hot when you try to stop. The kinetic energy of the moving car becomes heat in the brakes of the stationary car which has lost its kinetic energy. There are two ways to get a car to the top of a hill. One is to start at the bottom and drive the car to the top and then stop again. This way, the engine pushed the car up the hill. The other way is to start a long way before the hill and build up speed along a flat road. Then you can turn off the engine and the car will coast to the top of the hill before it stops. This way, the engine put a lot of Kinetic Energy into the weight of the car before it got to the hill, and it was that Kinetic Energy which was used to get the car up the hill.
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.
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.
How do brakes stop a car?
Friction converts kinetic energy into heat energy.
What type of energy occurs when you hit the brakes on a bike?
i think it is kinetic energy to thermal energy.
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
What is the science behind breaks?
The science behind BRAKES is that you use friction to convert kinetic (moving) energy into heat energy to stop a vehicle.

How a bicycles kenetic energy changes when the bicycle slows down?
Kinetic energy is the energy that comes from motion. When a bicycle slows down its motion becomes less so its kinetic energy becomes less. when you slow down, your kinetic energy is reduced.
If you are traveling 60mph and must stop quickly you have activated heat energy and kinetic energy but not potential energy. Why did you not use or produce potential energy?
You produced it if you're driving an electric or hybrid car. In that case, the kinetic energy of your motionwas poured back into the batteries, becoming chemical potential energy that can be converted back tokinetic energy again later.If you have no way to store the kinetic energy lost when you slow down or stop, then you're right . . .it just turns into heat in the brakes, and blows away in the wind.
How is energy transformed as you ride a roller coaster?
Potential energy and Kinetic Energy are interchanged many times as the cars slow down going up the hills, and speed up going down the hills. At the very end of the ride Kinetic Energy is turned into Thermal Energy (Heat) as the brakes stop the motion of the cars.

A 735 kg car moving at 20 ms brakes to a stop The brakes contain about 15 kg of iron which absorbs the energy What is the increase in temperature of the brakes?
kinetic energy = 0.5 x 735 x 202 = 147kJ irons heat capacity is 0.45 J/g K 147,000/ 0.45 x 15,000 = 21.7777o
