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.

Will a vehicle with worn brakes take longer to stop?
yes
Why do air brakes take longer to stop than hydrolic brakes?
brake drums are located where
Why does a moving truck takes a much longer time to stop than that taken by a car when brakes are applied to 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.

How many hours does it take to change the brakes on a 1993 kenworth?
As long as it takes. You didn't specify a model (remember, Kenworth makes Class 5 through Class 8 trucks), you didn't specify a brake system (S-cam air brakes, hydraulic brakes, hydraulic disc brakes, air disc brakes, air wedge brakes, or air piston brakes), and we don't know your level of technical experience.
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.
Do Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars?
Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars.
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.
Does a bobtail truck take longer to stop than an empty truck?
It can, yes. If you adjust your method of braking properly to account for the absence of weight, it shouldn't. If you simply slam on your brakes, it often will.
How does the speed an object is travling at affect its stopping disstance?
An object's stopping distance is proportional to its speed, mass, and the force applied to slow it down.A car is the best example of this:Speed: The faster the car is moving, the further it takes to stop (given a car of the same weight, and the same force is applied on the brakes)Mass: If the car was carrying a thousand pounds of bricks it would take longer to stop (given the same speed, and the same force applied on the brakes).Force: If you lightly press the brakes, you will take longer to stop than if you slam on them (given the same speed, and same car mass)
You are buying a 2004 international 26 foot box truck and you are torn between getting air brakes or hydraulic. your main concern is maintenance Which costs less to maintain?
It's about the same...but maintenance cost shouldn't be your primary consideration. You have two others: air brakes stop better than hydraulic ones do, and you need to take an air brakes test to drive a vehicle that has them.If you're going to be the only driver of this truck the air brake endorsement isn't a real issue, but if you're going to hire people to drive for you, you'll only be able to hire people with CDLs.
