Clutches, Brakes, Couplings, and Flywheels
The clutch is described as a machine element used to connect or disconnect two shafts together to transmit torque or power. The clutch works on the principles of friction. The clutch is commonly used in automobiles to transfer power from the driving shaf…

Chapter 50, Problem 4RQ

When the brakes are applied on a moving car, the frictional parts (brake or) are forced against the rotating parts of the car (brake or). The friction causes the rotating parts to slow down and stop. Just as the energy of the rotating parts is called kinetic, the friction used to stop them is called kinetic.
