Why do front-wheeld brakes on an automobile wears out first?
Weight transfer. When a car brakes, its weight moves forward and causes the front brakes to do the majority of the work in stopping the car.
Why does my Car screech when stopping?

Do front or rear brakes have more stopping power?
Front brakes have significantly more stopping power than rear brakes.
Why do you fall forward when a car brakes suddenly?
Because you are decelerating sharply
What affects a car from stopping?
BRAKES
Why do disc brakes have no stopping power?
Disc brakes have stopping power because they use friction to slow down or stop a vehicle. The brake pads press against the rotor, creating friction that helps to reduce the speed of the vehicle.
Why are larger brakes prefered over smaller brakes in vehicles?
Larger brakes = shorter stopping distance.
Are rear drum brakes used during normal braking?
Certainly, all four wheel brakes are used in normal stopping. However, the lions share of the stopping power is from the front brakes, yes.
When you apply the brakes on a wheelchair is this a balanced or unbalanced force?
Unbalanced , because you arrest any forward motion ,by the application of the brakes, which is the means by which the wheelchair is designed .
How does inertia affect the stopping distance of a car?
Inertia affects the stopping distance of a car by causing the car to continue moving forward even after the brakes are applied. The greater the inertia of the car, the longer it will take for the car to come to a complete stop. This is because the car's momentum must be overcome by the braking force in order to bring the car to a halt.
Why do you need front brakes?
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
Why do you use front disc and rear drum brakes?
Front brakes provide about 70% of stopping force. Disc brakes have an advantage over drum brakes in that they can provide more stopping force without overheating (and thus loosing their stopping efficiency). I believe drum brake units are less costly to manufacture than disc brakes, so using them on the rear also saves manufacturing costs.
