Forced Recall Task 2:
Example: A vehicle slowing down.
The moving vehicle has a kinetic energy store. When the brakes are applied, this kinetic energy is
transferred to thermal (friction between brake discs and pads), which is lost to the surroundings as the
brakes cool down.
The energy is transferred by a mechanical pathway, as the force of friction is involved in slowing down the
object.
Can you think of another example naming 2 energy stores and the pathway used to transfer
the energy?
