Question 27

A hybrid car's regenerative braking system captures kinetic energy and stores it as chemical energy in a battery.

During a braking phase, the system receives 8.5 × 104 J of kinetic energy from the wheels. The useful chemical energy stored in the battery as a result is 3.06 × 104 J.

Calculate the efficiency of the regenerative braking system.
