When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction
between the brake drums and the brake shoes converts
the car’s kinetic energy to thermal energy. If a 1 500-kg
automobile traveling at 30 m/s comes to a halt, how
much does the temperature rise in each of the four
8.0-kg iron brake drums? (The specific heat of iron is
448 J/kg ? °C.)
