When one brakes during the landing roll of the aircraft is there a difference in the rotation speed of the nose wheel and the main wheels?

I would say that this is almost if not always true for any large aircraft, because the main wheels are larger and stronger due to the fact that the main wheels take the touchdown force first.

How do you stop the 747 aircraft after landing?
All aircraft are fitted with brakes (much like a car) -however - with large aircraft, the pilot can set the engines to 'reverse thrust' which brings the plane to a stop quickly.
Do airplanes use brakes on the landing gear to stop or reverse thrust?
they use both. the aircraft uses ceramic brakes to slow the aircraft (ceramic because of the extreame heat produced up to 300 deg C). The rev thrust is mainly used to slow the aircraft at high speeds. rev thrust is disengaged when the aircraft hits about 80 knts and from then on the brakes are used only. If you get a good enough photo of the landing gear during braking they should glow red/yellow

When do the wheels go up on an Airplane?
The landing gear are normally retracted immediately after take off upon establishing a positive rate of climb. There are occasions when the landing gear are left extended for a short period of time such as when the brakes are hot or overheated. Normal call outs after rotation when the non-flying pilot confirms that the aircraft is climbing are, "Positive rate--gear up." The landing gear are retracted as soon as possible after take-off so as to reduce drag on the aircraft, which allows it to gain airspeed and climb quicker.
How do aircraft apply brakes when landing?
Almost all airplanes have hydrlic disc brakes very similar to your car. However, high-performance airplanes also have spoilers that deploy once the wheels touch the ground. The spoilers are also called air-brakes and during landing they " destroy" lift and transfer the weight from the wings to the wheels and therefore making the disc brakes more effective.
Do aircraft have brakes?
Yes. Aircraft have wheel brakes just like the brakes on your car. The pilot operates them by depressing the tops (or toes) of the rudder pedals. In addition, the flaps are used to slow the aircraft in flight, and many aircraft have air-brakes and/or thrust reversers to further aid in slowing the aircraft.
Why thrust reversers instead of aircraft braking system?
Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help it slow down just after touch-down. This reduces wear on the brakes and enables shorter landing distances.
Are the brakes used while landing a plane?
Yes. While it's certainly possible to roll to a stop eventually without braking, the amounts of land and concrete pavement required for runways has been reduced significantly by the use of aircraft brakes.
Is Jet Aircraft Nose wheel is locked when deployed?
None of the landing wheels would not be locked in any sense of the word other than at the gate when the brakes are fully applied.
What is a c-130 hot brake?
Hot brakes on a C-130 happen when the aircraft brakes are heated so much that they begin to glow and possibly melt the landing gear tires. This is a very dangerous situation to come across and every person on the ground is responsible for spotting these.
What is difference between skid and slip in relation to aircraft?
When brakes partially applied, or works the air craft slips forward, when brakes are applied fully and anti skid detector fails the air craft skids.
How do air brakes work on commercial aircraft?
Airbrakes on commercial aircraft are hydraulically operated.
