When a car begins to brake, the car is affected by many different forces. These include:
- Friction - When the brake pedal is pressed, the car's wheels act against the road, causing friction to slow down the car
- Gravity - When driving, gravity is pulling the car down, therefore pressing the car against the ground, making us slow down slightly
- Air resistance - When any object goes through air particles, they are slowed down slightly because of the extra force required to push past.

What is the calculation of braking forces on a motorcycle?
potential
What are the two types of braking systems on a car?
Drum & Disc are the two types of braking systems on a car.
If a car is moving what is the forces actting on it?
* Force at the wheels (acceleration, braking, turning, maintaining constant velocity, normal force) * Drag from air movement * Gravity
What does not involve a car accelerating?
braking
What type of breaking quickly transfers the weight of your car?
Assuming you mean "braking", aggressive braking.
Which is the best braking system in car?
ABS??
The braking system on a car is an example of?
Hydraulics.
What makes a car stop?
The braking system makes a car stop.
What device is employed to compensate for the different braking forces required?
Proportioning valve
A 1000 kg car brakes with its maximum braking force of 4000n calculate the acceleration of the car when braking?
Assuming that braking force is the friction force; F=m*a 4000 = 1000*a a = 4 m/s^2
Car vibrates when braking?
If your car vibrates when you are braking, you might have pads that have worn unevenly. You can have the brake pads inspected to see if there is wearing on the drum or if you have a problem with your rotors.
How do you use the word braking in a sentence?
The sound of the braking railroad cars shreiked through the night. Now matter how hard he pushed the pedal, the car was not braking.
