Description Brakes are used to stop a moving object. The most common type of brakes is friction brakes. When a brake is applied, friction is generated between the brake pad and the brake disc. This friction heats up the brake pad, and the heated brake pad then transfers heat to the metal disc. This causes the metal disc to heat up and decrease the kinetic energy of the object. The brake pad, heated by the braking process, is cooled by the air and the cycling of the brake.
