Do air brakes take longer to stop than hydraulic brakes?
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.
Why does a moving truck takes a much longer time to stop than that taken by a car when brakes are applied on both?
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.

Why do air brakes take longer to stop than hydrolic brakes?
brake drums are located where
As a vehicle speeds increases the stoping distance?
increases. This is because the faster a vehicle is traveling, the more momentum it has, and therefore the longer distance it will take to come to a complete stop when the brakes are applied.
How much longer does it take to stop in the rain?
It can take up to three times longer to stop a vehicle in wet conditions.
Why are the brakes in your car so important?
Without brakes the vehicle would take forever to stop, accidents/injuries would happen all the time.
Why does an automatic with ABS take longer to stop when braking?
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.
How does speed affect the vehicle's braking distance?
Speed directly impacts braking distance, as braking distance increases with higher velocities. The faster a vehicle is traveling, the longer it will take to come to a complete stop once the brakes are applied. This is due to the increased momentum and kinetic energy the vehicle possesses at higher speeds, which must be counteracted by the braking system.
When driving at 55 mph how long does it take to come to a complete 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.
Why does a moving ship take longer time to stop than taken by a car when brakes are applied to both?
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.
Do vehicles with anti lock brakes take 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.
