-----Answer-----
what kind of process are you looking for basic or very detailed?

Answer
when you press the gas it opens the throttle plate which allows more air/fuel to enter the intake. depending on the speed of the engine this will either be alot or a little. the power made by the engine is then transfered to the transmission wear it uses different sets of gears to adjust the mechanical advantage and output it to the drive axles. on braking when you hit the pedal that actuates a hydrolic cylinder which pressurizes the fluid lines. that pressure is then released through the movement of the calipers and the wheel cylinders. this movement causes the brake pads to apply to the rotors which causes friction to slow the car down. i hope this is what you were looking for.
