What are the reasons for ineffective braking?
1 Answers
Car ineffective braking is caused by malfunctions in the vehicle's braking system components, leading to a failure in the braking system. This could be due to excessive wear of the brake pads or brake discs, resulting in longer braking distances. Common braking systems in cars include drum brakes and disc brakes, with disc brakes offering better heat dissipation and being less prone to brake failure. The working principle of braking involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving car into frictional heat energy. During braking, the brake pedal activates a lever mechanism that applies pressure, causing the brake pads to clamp onto the brake drum or disc, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
