This could be a number of things: A leaking brake line, a blown master cylinder, a blown seal on a caliper or a blown wheel cylinder on a drum brake, however, the last two you are likely to feel the brake in the vehicle lock up when you try to stop.
Agreed, all true. But the most common reason is low fluid level in master cylinder or air in brake lines

How do aircraft apply brakes when landing?
Almost all airplanes have hydrlic disc brakes very similar to your car. However, high-performance airplanes also have spoilers that deploy once the wheels touch the ground. The spoilers are also called air-brakes and during landing they " destroy" lift and transfer the weight from the wings to the wheels and therefore making the disc brakes more effective.
