The driver of a car slams on her brakes to avoid colliding with a deer crossing the highway. What happens to the car's kinetic energy as it comes to rest?
Answered by Damon
The brakes get hot and the tires and road surface get hot
Answered by Gilles
Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mv^(2)
Then when v decreases, the kinetic energy decreases as well
