What is the force that brakes use to stop a car?
FrictionMost cars use friction between the rotor and the brake pads to slow and stop a car, however, in some newer cars, dynamic braking is used, which reduces friction and for hybrid or electric vehicles, regenerates power and feeds it back to the batteries.
Why are stopping distances for braking cars increased on wet roads?
The water gets into the brakes and when you stop there is less friction.
Why do keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes on your bicycle?
Because when you brake, the brakes stop the wheels from moving. But that doesn't stop the bike from moving. It means that the speed/force/velocity at which you were traveling was forceful enough to override the brakes. So basically, you're sliding.
What will happen with 2 cars with different masses travel at the same speed down a hill toward a stop sign?
As long as the drivers apply the brakes appropriately, nothing bad will happen, and both cars will stop. The brakes of the more massive car will heat up a little more, because the more massive car has more momentum which will be dissipated as heat. Presumably, the engineers who designed the brakes took this into account.
Is it possible that the brakes of car are so perfect that they can stop instantaneously?
No. A moving car has a lot of energy. To get it to stop, that energy has to be removed somehow, usually by the brakes. If you try to remove all that energy at once, something will break. Any passengers will be flung forward with destructive force.
What force do Brakes use to stop objects?

Breifly describe how applying the brakes to stop a bicycle is an example of force?
The brakes apply force to the wheel, causing friction which stops it.

Do race brakes get stiff when they wear out?
Yes and any and all cars brakes get stiff or stop working when they wear out
What is the force that can stop a bicycle when the rider applies the brakes?
Friction is the force that stops the bike.
What is the significance of the cars that come to a screeching stop outside the building?
Those cars do not have ABS brakes. If they had they wouldn't screech.
What makes a roller coaster stop?
Brakes, and a lack of driving force.
