In Braking an Automobile,the Friction Between the Brake Drums and Brake

question 26

Short Answer

In braking an automobile,the friction between the brake drums and brake shoes converts the car's kinetic energy into heat.If a 1 500-kg automobile traveling at 30 m/s brakes to a halt,how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0-kg brake drums? (The specific heat of each iron brake drum is 448 J/kg. $\degree$ C).
