During braking, kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, causing brake discs to heat up. Excessive temperature rise can lead to brake fade and reduced braking effectiveness.
Given braking energy absorbed by the disc, disc mass, and material heat capacity, estimate the resulting temperature increase.
