Explanation:
A moving car has a lot of kinetic energy. When you apply the brakes, that energy of motion is transformed into something else, and the car slows down. Most cars use friction brakes, which inhibit motion by converting kinetic energy to heat. Because cars are massive and move fast, they have a lot of energy to convert.
