When a car slows down due to the application of brakes, the brake system creates friction between the brake pads and the rotors (or drums), converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy. This process reduces the car's speed as the wheels are slowed down. Additionally, the car's electrical and mechanical systems may assist in this process, ensuring stability and control during deceleration. As a result, the vehicle eventually comes to a stop.
