What is the approximate brake force distribution between the front brakes and the rear?
The brake force distribution of a vehicle is set up entirely on how the vehicle is desired to act and how one would like it to handle. If you wish for the car to turn in better than you can alter the brake bias appropriately. The main reason for brake bias being set up unequally between front and rear axles is to prevent rear wheel lock up. As you put in high braking force the load transfers to the front of the vehicle, with the reduced normal force (downwards force) acting on the rear axle the load is lighter which will lower the point at which the wheels lock up. To prevent rear wheel lock up and to optimise max braking force cars often have a fixed bias between front or rear to begin with or use Electronic Brake Distribution which through use of hydraulic valves can redirect braking force appropriately.
When should cyclists primarily use the rear brake for braking?
Cyclists should primarily use the rear brake for braking when they need to slow down or come to a complete stop at a moderate speed.
What is the Brake ratio for front wheel drive?
The brake ratio in a front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicle typically refers to the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels. In FWD cars, a common brake ratio is around 60-70% of the braking force applied to the front wheels and 30-40% to the rear wheels. This distribution is due to the weight transfer that occurs during braking, which places more load on the front wheels. However, the exact ratio can vary based on the vehicle's design and intended use.
Traveling at 55 mph your approximate braking distance is how many feet?
At 55 mph, the approximate braking distance is around stopping distance of about 200 feet. This includes both the reaction distance (the distance traveled while you react to the need to stop) and the actual braking distance (the distance it takes to stop once the brakes are applied). Factors like road conditions, vehicle type, and driver reaction time can affect this distance.

What is braking and braking distances?
Braking in a moving vehicle is applying the brakes to slow or halt movement, usually by depressing a pedal. The braking distance is the distance between the time the brakes are applied and the time the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
What are the scientific principals behind Electronic Brake Force Distribution?
EBD is a technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's brakes, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc. and is always coupled with anti-lock brakes.EBD can apply more/less braking pressure to each wheel which maximizes stopping power and maintains control of the car
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
When you apply on brakes in a car is the force balanced?
It depends on where it is on. Normally the braking force is balanced on an axle but different between axles. i.e., the braking force between left and right brakes on an axle is the same but the braking force on the front axle might be greater than the rear.
What is brake balance?
Brake balance refers to the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels of a vehicle. Achieving optimal brake balance ensures that all wheels contribute effectively to stopping power, enhancing stability and control during braking. If the balance is off, it can lead to issues such as premature tire wear, reduced braking efficiency, or even loss of control, especially in emergency situations. Proper brake balance is crucial for both performance and safety in vehicles.
Does friction effect braking force?
Yes, friction is essential for braking as it helps to slow down a moving vehicle by creating a resistance force between the brake pads and the wheels. The greater the friction between the brake components, the more effective the braking force will be.
