When a moving car is stopped by the brakes, the kinetic energy of the car is converted into thermal energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This thermal energy is then dissipated into the surrounding environment. Additionally, some of the kinetic energy may also be converted into sound energy if there is squealing from the brakes.

What is the energy of a stopped car?

A vehicle has energy only when it's moving. When it's stopped, no energy is being created or used.If the engine is still running, then it certainly is producing energy to move the pistons, turn the crankshaft, etc. But that doesn't affect the vehicle's energy unless the vehicle is moving.

When you slow a car to turn a corner what are you doing?

You are decelerating, and as you do so you are transfering quite a bit of energy to the brakes. That is why brakes can get very hot. The kinetic energy of the moving car is converted to friction on the brake pads.
