Which one is the brake pedal in a car?
1 Answers
The brake pedal is located inside the driver's compartment. Generally, there are three pedals, with the middle one being the brake pedal. The left pedal is the clutch, and the right one is the accelerator pedal. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. Brake pedal operations can be categorized into gentle braking, emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking. In most cases, whether performing gentle or emergency braking, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed before the wheels lock up or the vehicle comes to a complete stop, to prevent the engine from stalling and facilitate speed adjustment.
