When a bus brakes to a stop, its kinetic energy transforms into heat energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This heat energy is dissipated into the surroundings.
The potential energy of the ball (due to its position on the table) transforms into kinetic energy as it rolls off the table and falls. When the ball hits the floor, some of the kinetic energy transforms into elastic potential energy as the ball compresses and then rebounds. Finally, friction and air resistance gradually dissipate the ball's kinetic energy into thermal energy, causing it to stop.
When you step on the brakes in a car, kinetic energy from your car's motion is converted into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This heat energy is dissipated into the air, slowing down the car. The transformation from kinetic energy to heat energy helps bring the car to a stop.
The energy is generally converted to unusable energy, mainly heat. It is also possible to design special brakes that recover part of the kinetic energy, for example storing it in a battery, in a flywheel, etc., but this is not common.
When you push the brakes and stop the car, the kinetic energy of the moving car is transformed into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This process reduces the car's kinetic energy, bringing it to a stop.
No, car brakes actually increase friction in order to slow down or stop the vehicle. When the brakes are applied, they create friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy that dissipates, causing the vehicle to slow down.
Friction converts kinetic energy into heat energy.
i think it is kinetic energy to thermal energy.

Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
When a vehicle is slowing down, the external force of friction between the brakes and the wheels is what changes its momentum and kinetic energy. This force works against the vehicle's motion, transferring kinetic energy into heat and bringing the vehicle to a stop. The force of the brakes is an internal force that generates friction to slow down the vehicle.

The science behind BRAKES is that you use friction to convert kinetic (moving) energy into heat energy to stop a vehicle.

To find the increase in temperature of the brakes, you need to calculate the total kinetic energy of the car before braking and then determine the amount of energy absorbed by the brakes during braking. Using the equation for kinetic energy (0.5 x mass x velocity^2) for the car before braking and equating it to the energy absorbed by the brakes, you can then find the increase in the temperature of the brakes using the specific heat capacity of iron.
The energy you put into something to make it move at a steady speed is called KINETIC ENERGY. It's the Kinetic Energy of a car that makes the brakes hot when you try to stop. The kinetic energy of the moving car becomes heat in the brakes of the stationary car which has lost its kinetic energy. There are two ways to get a car to the top of a hill. One is to start at the bottom and drive the car to the top and then stop again. This way, the engine pushed the car up the hill. The other way is to start a long way before the hill and build up speed along a flat road. Then you can turn off the engine and the car will coast to the top of the hill before it stops. This way, the engine put a lot of Kinetic Energy into the weight of the car before it got to the hill, and it was that Kinetic Energy which was used to get the car up the hill.
