What is braking efficiency in railway braking?
pretty low
What is the meaning of the term braking efficiency?
Braking effort as a percentage of the weight of the vehicle.
Will water or dust affect the efficiency of the braking system?
Water, yes.
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
What affects breaking distance?
Several factors can affect braking distance in a motor vehicle.Speed, the faster you are travelling means a longer braking distance.Drivers reaction time, the road surface, efficiency of the brakes, efficiency of the tyres, and any combination of these factors.
Are rotors free floating on a 2002 Pontiac firebird?
yes, if they aren't you will loose braking efficiency
What is meant by braking efficiency?
I'll give a nice simple answer here. Braking efficiency is used to describe how effective your vehicle's braking system is at reducing your vehicles speed as needed and halting it when required. I would use the term as follows - Towing a trailer that is too large for your vehicle to tow will severely compromise your vehicles braking efficiency making it very difficult and/or impossible to reduce your speed when required.
How is braking efficiency of a car calculated?
vehicle weight divided by total brake effort, then multiplied by 100
Does water effect efficiency of the braking system?
yes, if water comes into contact with the brake disk, braking will be affected dramatically. its only once this coating of water has been removed soes the pad contact the disk. It is for this reason that manufacturers recommend lightly applying the brakes after going through deep water to remove any water (Some new cars do this automatically)
What is the emergency braking efficiency percentage for a vehicles foot brake?
the footbrake is 50 and the handbrake is 16 on a split system
Will tires P19570R14 fit on a 2001 Honda Civic?
They will fit but they are not the correct size for your Civic. Your speedometer will not be accurate. Ride, handling, fuel mileage, and braking will be adversely effected.
How long will it take to stop a vehicle?
There are many factors involved and therefore no single answer. Some factors are reaction time, vehicle speed, vehicle weight, braking type, braking efficiency and vehicle type.
