The brake shoes of your car are made of a material that can tolerate very high temperatures without being damaged. Why is this so?
To explain: The reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The material used to make the brake shoes of the car is the material that tolerates very high temperatures without any damage.
Explanation:
The brakes of the car slowdown the car by converting the kinetic energy of the car to thermal energy in the brake shoes through the friction.
The cars have large amount of kinetic energy. When the brakes are applied, the large amount of kinetic energy is converted in to thermal energy in the brake shoes through the friction.
As the huge amount of thermal energy is formed at the brake shoes, the temperature on the brake shoes increases to a very large value. Therefore, in order to prevent the damage due to very high temperatures, the brake shoes are made with the materials that are able to tolerate very high temperatures.
Conclusion:
Thus, the reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car is explained.
