What force slows car hitting the brakes?

Generally speaking for cars that have "disk brakes", friction slows the car. When the driver presses down on the brake pedal the brake calipers squeeze the brake pads against the brake rotor inside each car wheel causing the car to slow down by friction.


How does the driver's effort convert into braking force?

When a driver applies the brake pedal, force is transmitted through the brake system to the brake pads which press against the brake rotors. The friction between the pads and rotors slows down the rotation of the wheels, converting the driver's effort into braking force that stops the vehicle.


What force is used to slow down a car?

Friction is the force mainly responsible for slowing down a car. When the brake pads press against the brake rotors, friction is created, converting the kinetic energy of the car into heat energy, which ultimately slows down the vehicle.


What force causes a bicycle to slow down when the brake is used?

Friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim or disc generates the force that slows down a bicycle when the brakes are applied. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving bicycle into heat, causing it to decelerate.


What happens to the kinetic energy of a skateboard that is coasting along a flat surface slows downand comes to a stop?

As the skateboard slows down and comes to a stop, the kinetic energy is transferred into other forms, mainly heat and sound. Friction between the wheels and the surface, as well as air resistance, cause the skateboard's kinetic energy to be dissipated as heat and sound energy.

When you use the handbrakes on a bike what force do you apply?

The force you apply is technically called applied force. It is transfered and used to move the brake pads together. At that point, the frictional force between the brake pads and the tire slows down the tire.
