I think the test you are studying for requires a specific answer. My answer will give you the background and knowlege to develop the skills to acheve maximum braking on a consistant basis.
Maximum braking involves the skilled use of both front and rear brakes together to the maximum potential available.
A drill that should be practiced regularly is learning to lock the front brake so the tire skids, release the brake without loosing control of the motor cycle.
YOU MUST Practice this to begin with at low speed on a light weight machine so when you muck it up you are not injured!
Once you have developed the required skill your every day run around machine is next.
Once you have the skill and feel to operate the front brake "At The Limit" you need to add rear brake to the drill.
I am an experianced rider, and I practice this at least monthly a few times and spend an hour on this drill alone when I get my bike out in the spring.

What is the calculation of braking forces on a motorcycle?
potential
Why taillight on braking glows in motorcycle?
to let following traffic know your braking (slowing down)
Braking distance between a motorcycle and car?
Ultimate braking distance is similar for a car and motorcycle, but it requires a lot of skill to do it on a motorcycle. Comparing an average motorcycle to an average car driver, the car will stop faster. (whoever said that braking on a motorbike is an idiot i have a motor bike and am very good on it and ever since i got my bike i have been able to break its simple!!! just like on a normal bike)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which brake do you use on a motorcycle?
You use both front and back brake for braking.
Does a motorcycle rear disc brake provide sufficient braking power?
To stop yes. to stop fast NO
Would motorcycle brakes be concidered a lever?
Leverage (mechanical advantage) will be found on all braking systems.
What is the starting and finishing energy for a motorcyclist braking to a halt?
Before braking, a motorcycle has movement energy. In physics, movement energy is called kinetic energy.After braking... well, it depends on the type of brake, but usually the kinetic energy is just converted to heat.
Is a Sport Bike a type of motorcycle?
A sport bike is a type of motorcycle. Sport Bikes are made for performance and have better acceleration, braking, speed, and handling than other motorcycles.
Can a motorcycle stop quicker than a car?
Yes, they have larger braking surface/weight of vehicle, than a car.
A 1000 kg car brakes with its maximum braking force of 4000n calculate the acceleration of the car when braking?
Assuming that braking force is the friction force; F=m*a 4000 = 1000*a a = 4 m/s^2
What is the maximum height of motorcycle handlebars in Ontario?
The maximum height of motorcycle handlebars in Ontario is 15 inches from the top of the seat (under the riders weight while seated) to the top of the handlebars.
What is EBS on a car?
The Electronic Brake assist System (EBS) is a very efficient aid in emergency braking situations when the driver wants the vehicle to stop as quickly as possible. In these situations, most drivers apply the brake fast, but not with the maximum pressure, and this insufficient braking power leads to dangerously long braking distances. The system is triggered when the brake assist recognizes the fast and hard braking by the driver classified as typical 'emergency braking' and activates the maximum braking power immediately. Therefore even moderate pedal force leads to maximum deceleration. This can help avoid an accident or reduce its seriousness, due to decreased vehicle speed at the moment of collision.
