For your large aircraft they will use a few systems at once to slow the aircraft.
The main system is the brakes. These are made of ceramics because of the extreame temperatures in which they are exposed. If you look close enough you should see a slight orange glow coming from the wheels whilst the brakes are on.
The second method is called reverse thrust. This is where the engine cowling opens up and directs airflow forward. By forcing air forward the aircraft is slowed through newtons third law of motion. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
The other method has only a slight effect on the slowing of the aircraft. Although these components are primarily used for other reasons things like you flaps and spoilers help slow the aircraft down by increasing the drag caused by the movement of the aircraft.
These different methods when combined are the reason why many large aircraft are able to stop from high speed relatively fast.
Almost every aspect of an airplane landing is managed by computer. The most important aspect is decelerating the airplane so the brakes and landing gear can stop the plane.

The pilot and the co-pilot are responsible for landing the airplane.

Depends on the speed of the airplane and the landing delays.
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
To avoid accidents when the airplane is landing.
