Both air brakes and hydraulic brakes are capable of locking up the wheels. It would depend on the weight of the vehicle, tires and road conditions.
The reason that it takes a moving truck a much longer time to stop than it takes a car to stop when the brakes are applied on both is because the truck weighs more. The more mass a vehicle has the longer it will take to stop.

It can take up to three times longer to stop a vehicle in wet conditions.
Without brakes the vehicle would take forever to stop, accidents/injuries would happen all the time.
The wheels do not lock up with abs. This gives you more control to steer the vehicle out of danger but it takes longer to stop.
Depend on what vehicle you are driving. A large vehicle will take longer to stop than a small sports car. The average car will take about 190 feet which includes reaction time. This will take about 8.5 seconds.
Ship doesn't have brakes, it has to use reverse! But in any case, the reason a ship takes longer to stop than a car is that is has more momentum. Think of momentum as something that tells you how hard it will be to stop an object. More momentum means it will be harder to stop. Momentum is equal to the mass of the object times it velocity or speed. So a ship has a lot more mass that a car and takes longer to stop.
Depends upon conditions. Studies show that Most cars with ABS stop faster on wet and even dry pavement. However ABS cars take longer to stop on ice, snow, and gravel. Personally I really like them in rain, and CANNOT STAND THEM on snow/gravel.
It is illegal to repair brakes by an average person take the vehicle to a qualified person.
If you already have a CDL, you take the written air brakes test, then do a road test in a vehicle of the appropriate class which is equipped with air brakes.
