Question

When we apply brakes, the bicycle stops and the rim of the wheel becomes hot. Explain the reason

Answer 1

This is because of friction. The friction between the rim and brakes are exploited in the form of energy exchange. The kinetic energy is converted to potential energy. But because no energy is 100% efficient but must be 100% conserved, other forms of energy like sound energy and heat energy come into play.

So friction allows the conversion of kinetic to potential energy with the expenditure of sound and heat also.

Hence the rims are hot.

CHEERS!!

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer goes on

Explanation:

when we apply brakes, the bicycle stops and the rim of the wheel gets hot. This is because of friction. When we apply brakes, it produces friction between the rim of the wheel and the brakes of the bicycle. Hence the friction produced in the following action makes the bicycle

stop and makes the rim of the wheel hot.
