What are benefits of antilock brakes?

Keeping the brakes from locking up will allow you to steer out of a situation.


What happens if you drop a coin from a high building?

If its not a huge big coin - maybe a penny or so, it should fly right back into the building due to upward air pressure glidin up the walls of the building is stronger than the gravity pull.


How do you repair a 1992 Dodge Caravan when the brakes lock up and the brake light stays on?

The dealer will know how to access the codes for the brakes. When that is fixed it should not lock up then.


Why might differences in air pressure cause building to explode outward when a tornado passes over them?

The idea goes that the pressure inside a tornado is very low (which is true) while the pressure inside a building stays close to normal, which would lead to an enormous outward force on the walls that would produce an explosion.In reality, though, this does not happen for a number of reasons.Buildings are not airtight and air can escape them fairly rapidly, preventing any major pressure difference from building up.The pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough to cause major damage.Even if the pressure difference was allowed to build up and become strong enough to cause damage, the windows would break and relieve the pressure before the walls or roof failed.The winds of a tornado are what cause damage. In a strong tornado these winds will tear open sections of the building and even weak tornadoes can break windows.


When doing a tattoo how much pressure must you use to draw a clean and clear outling?

that depends. what area of the body are you tattooing? what size needle are you using? go get an apprenticeship and stop hacking people up in your house.

Do air brakes use brake fluid?

No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.


Why would the speedometer on a BMW 528i stop working?

Well due to the velocity of that car it could either be pressure building up in that part or a certain liquid is building up/leaking and it is creating technical difficulties such the speedometer to stop working


If the machine air system on a dump truck does not build up to the required pressure what effect does this have on the braking system?

The brakes will remain on, air pressure is required to release the brakes


What makes your jeep stop when you back up?

Brakes or lack of propulsion.


Brakes adjustment Daewoo nubira?

The brakes automatically adjust every time you back up and use the brakes to stop. The automatic adjustment is common in most automobiles.


Why do the brakes on your 1993 Chevy suburban build pressure then lock up?

If the rear brakes are drum brakes, then there could be a leaky wheel cylinder. The wetness inside the drum will cover all the brake shoes and parts and cause the wheel to lock up when applied. The build of pressure could be due to the wheel cylinder leaking and causing a pressure loss, but rising when the brakes are applied or pumped up. This may/may not be your case, but definitely worth checking the rears.


What happens when air gets in the braking system?

Air stuck in the brake lines cause the peddle to feel "spongy". Your braking distance will dramatically increase with air in the system. When you apply the brakes in a vehicle that has no air in the system, that pressure added with the pressure from the master cylinder presses the brake pads against the rotor or drum causing you to stop. When there is air in the brake system and you apply the brakes some of that pressure is used up by compressing the air in the system and the rest is trying to stop the vehicle.


Does putting oil on brakes mess them up?

Oil will soften up the brake material causing it to not function properly. The brakes may be grabby or may not stop at all.


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 do your brakes press down hard and do not stop?

They need to be loosend up a liddle bit.


What causes a car with tightly closed windows occasionally have a window blow out or crack when exposed to the sun on a hot day?

The molecules that make up the air inside the car get heated up by the sun causing them to move faster and grow farther apart building up the air pressure inside the car. After a while the pressure becomes so great that the window cracks, then brakes, releasing the built up pressure.


Why does my brake pedal bleed done it won't hold pressure?

Probably either from air in the lines or the master cylinder leaking and in need of repair before the brakes go out entirely. To tell the difference, if you pump up the brakes and hold pressure on the peddle and it stays up and then you let off of the peddle and it goes down, it is probably air, bleed the brakes. If after pumping up the brakes and holding pressure it slowly leaks down, you are either losing fluid somewhere or the master cylinder internal seals are bad, fix them before the brakes are gone when you need them.
