What is braking efficiency in railway braking?
pretty low
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
How do you calculate brake efficiency of a car?
estimates the distance a car travel at 100 km/h during your reaction time in braking
What is the meaning of the term braking efficiency?
Braking effort as a percentage of the weight of the vehicle.
Do you follow your car tire pressure on the door or the tire?
The door: the number on the tire is its maximum pressure, the number on the load sticker in your car is specific to the car and is set to maximize efficiency, braking, and handling for your vehicle.
Will water or dust affect the efficiency of the braking system?
Water, yes.
What are the two types of braking systems on a car?
Drum & Disc are the two types of braking systems on a car.
How efficiency is calculated?
work it out
What is efficiency and how is it calculated?
The efficiency is output divided by input.
What is the relationship between a car's mass and its stopping distance?
The greater the mass of the car and its occupants the longer the stopping distance that is required for the vehicle. Stopping distance is calculated by taking into account car mass and reaction time in braking
What is the foot brake efficiency ranges should a properly maintained modern four wheeled car be expected to achieve in an emergency braking situation on a dry tarmac road?
80 % to 85%
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.
