Question

Every time you hit the brakes, you are attempting to overcome _____.

A. potential energy
B. kinetic energy
C. static electricity
D. the force of impact

Answer 1

B. kinetic energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. When an object is accelerated by the application of a force this force is transferred to the object in the form of kinetic energy depending on the mass and speed. In the case of a car, the brakes try to overcome this energy by stopping the motion of the wheels.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
