Will a vehicle with worn brakes take longer to stop?
yes
Why does a moving truck takes a much longer time to stop than that taken by a car when brakes are applied to both?
The reason that it takes a moving truck a much longer time to stop than it takes a car to stop when the brakes are applied on both is because the truck weighs more. The more mass a vehicle has the longer it will take to stop.
Do air brakes take longer to stop than hydraulic brakes?
Both air brakes and hydraulic brakes are capable of locking up the wheels. It would depend on the weight of the vehicle, tires and road conditions.

Why does a moving ship take longer time to stop than taken by a car when brakes are applied to both?
Ship doesn't have brakes, it has to use reverse! But in any case, the reason a ship takes longer to stop than a car is that is has more momentum. Think of momentum as something that tells you how hard it will be to stop an object. More momentum means it will be harder to stop. Momentum is equal to the mass of the object times it velocity or speed. So a ship has a lot more mass that a car and takes longer to stop.
Do vehicles with anti lock brakes take longer to stop?
Depends upon conditions. Studies show that Most cars with ABS stop faster on wet and even dry pavement. However ABS cars take longer to stop on ice, snow, and gravel. Personally I really like them in rain, and CANNOT STAND THEM on snow/gravel.
How much longer does it take to stop in the rain?
It can take up to three times longer to stop a vehicle in wet conditions.
Do Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars?
Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars.
Does a bobtail truck take longer to stop than an empty truck?
It can, yes. If you adjust your method of braking properly to account for the absence of weight, it shouldn't. If you simply slam on your brakes, it often will.
How does the speed an object is travling at affect its stopping disstance?
An object's stopping distance is proportional to its speed, mass, and the force applied to slow it down.A car is the best example of this:Speed: The faster the car is moving, the further it takes to stop (given a car of the same weight, and the same force is applied on the brakes)Mass: If the car was carrying a thousand pounds of bricks it would take longer to stop (given the same speed, and the same force applied on the brakes).Force: If you lightly press the brakes, you will take longer to stop than if you slam on them (given the same speed, and same car mass)
How long do it take for a Train traveling at 55 mph to stop after the emergency brakes are applied?
The answer depends on the mass of the train and the force applied by the brakes.
Why are the brakes in your car so important?
Without brakes the vehicle would take forever to stop, accidents/injuries would happen all the time.
