A (1200 mathrm{~kg}) car traveling at (60 mathrm{mph}) quickly brakes to a halt. (mathbb{N}) The kinetic energy

Question:

A \(1200 \mathrm{~kg}\) car traveling at \(60 \mathrm{mph}\) quickly brakes to a halt.

\(\mathbb{N}\) The kinetic energy of the car is converted to thermal energy of the disk brakes. The brake disks (one per wheel) are iron disks with a mass of \(4.0 \mathrm{~kg}\). Estimate the temperature rise in each disk as the car stops.
