Slamming on your brakes activates the braking system, which applies friction to the wheels. This friction converts the car's kinetic energy into thermal energy, slowing down the vehicle. The brake pads press against the brake discs (or drums), creating resistance that reduces speed. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) may also engage to prevent wheel lock-up and maintain steering control during hard braking.
