Describe the conversion of kinetic energy to thermal energy.
What will be an ideal response?
Kinetic energy, the energy of motion, is converted to thermal energy through the application of the brakes to slow and stop the vehicle. The braking action to slow the vehicle involves the use of friction between the rotors or drums and the corresponding lining material. Friction generates heat and through this process kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
