Question
A car with mass 1275 kg is driven at 60 km/h when the brakes are applied quickly to decrease its speed to 20 km/h. Assume that the brake pads have
a0.5-kg mass with a heat capacity of 1.1 kJ/kg K and that the brake disks/drums are 4.0 kg of steel.Further assume that both masses are heated uniformly. Find the temperature increase in the brake assembly.
