Heat generation during braking occurs primarily due to friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors (or drums) as the brakes are applied. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving car into thermal energy, resulting in heat. The faster the car is moving, the greater the kinetic energy, and consequently, more heat is generated during braking. Additionally, the heat can also be influenced by factors such as brake design, materials used, and duration of braking.

Why do keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes on your bicycle?

Because when you brake, the brakes stop the wheels from moving. But that doesn't stop the bike from moving. It means that the speed/force/velocity at which you were traveling was forceful enough to override the brakes. So basically, you're sliding.

I had new brakes rotors and calipers and the brakes are squeling now.The garage said my brakes where to hard and they had metal in them they sanded them.Still squeling What could be the cause.?

first of all, the pads may be semi-metallic and have chunks of metal in them which may cause the squeal, change to a less metallic pad may help, also the backing of the pads should have an anti-squeal gel applied to them, when you apply the brakes, the pads will hyper vibrate and can cause a squeal. The gel will stop the vibrating. first of all, the pads may be semi-metallic and have chunks of metal in them which may cause the squeal, change to a less metallic pad may help, also the backing of the pads should have an anti-squeal gel applied to them, when you apply the brakes, the pads will hyper vibrate and can cause a squeal.
