A 3880-kg car enters an 7.9-percent downhill grade at a speed of 97 km/h. The driver applies her brakes to bring the car to a speed of
16 km/h in a distance of 0.52 km measured along the road. Calculate the energy loss Q (enter as a positive number) dissipated from the
brakes in the form of heat. Neglect any friction losses from other causes such as air resistance.
Answer: Q = i
kJ
