When you apply the brakes in a vehicle, kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy due to friction between the brake pads and rotors. This process generates heat, which can affect brake performance and tire wear. Additionally, the friction between tires and the road surface also dissipates energy, impacting speed and traction. Overall, the interplay of these forces influences vehicle handling, stopping distance, and tire longevity.
What else can I help you with?
What will Kinetic energy be most affected by?
Kinetic energy will be most affected by an object's mass and speed. An increase in mass or speed will result in a higher kinetic energy. Conversely, a decrease in mass or speed will lead to a lower kinetic energy.
How is the amount of kinetic energy affected by speed?

Does the Space Shuttle have speed brakes?
The Space Shuttle orbiter has speed brakes in the tail which open up when it's going to land and also has a parachute brake system which is deployed upon touchdown in addition to its wheel brakes.
How much thermal energy is generated by the brakes of a kg train in causing the train to slow from a speed of W sec to speed of W sec?
The amount of thermal energy generated by the brakes of a train in slowing down from one speed to another depends on the mass of the train, the initial and final speeds, and the efficiency of the braking system. The energy is converted from the kinetic energy of the train into heat energy by the brakes. The specific calculation would require more details about the system.
What two things affect energy?
Its temperature and its specific thermal capacity
Do car brakes overheat?
Car brakes work by applying friction between two surfaces converting the motion (kinetic energy) to heat and slowing down the car. Traveling a downgrade for long distances can result in the brakes overheating and the friction surfaces grinding down and/or burning out. The correct thing to do is to downshift your transmission to prevent the vehicle from gaining too much downhill speed.
What type of energy occurs when you hit the brakes on a bike?
i think it is kinetic energy to thermal energy.
What happens to potential energy when the speed is increased?
When the speed is increased, potential energy typically converts to kinetic energy. In the case of an object being lifted against gravity, the potential energy initially stored as gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the object starts moving.
When a car slows down at a traffic light it is?
converting kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction in the brakes, resulting in a decrease in speed.
What affects speed?
the brakes affect the speed
Does different surfaces affect a runner's speed?
Yes, different surfaces can affect a runner's speed. Soft surfaces like grass or sand can slow down a runner due to increased resistance. Hard surfaces like pavement or track can be faster for running as they provide better energy return and responsiveness.
How is the specific charge of an electron affected when its speed increases?
Its charge is always 1.6X10-19 However when it's speed increases, it has more energy
