A hybrid car is an automobile that achieves high fuel efficiency by using a combination of thermal energy and electrical energy for propulsion. One of the ways it achieves high fuel efficiency is by regenerative braking. That is, every time the car stops, the regenerative braking system converts part of the TKE of the car into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery. That stored energy can later be used to propel the car. The remaining part of the TKE is lost as heat. Draw a control surface diagram showing the energy conversions that take place when the hybrid car stops. (A: See diagram below.)
