Aperson driving a car applies the brakes. this produces friction, which stops the car. into which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted

Heat energy

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work or perform a task. Energy exists in different forms depending on the source. As mentioned in the question, the moving car uses kinetic energy, which is a type of mechanical energy an object possesses in motion.

However, when the driver of the car applies the brakes, friction is produced between the tyres of the car and the ground in order to stop the car. Friction is a force that opposes two objects in motion. When friction is applied, heat is produced. Hence, when the moving car stops due to the friction produces, heat is released in the process.

Therefore, it can be said that the mechanical energy (kinetic energy) of that car was converted to heat energy when it stopped as a result of friction.

b. to discover aspects of the natural world.

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
