Why do your lights go on when brakes are used?
When you press the brakes, the lights brighten up mainly to alert drivers behind you that you are slowing down or stopping. It prevents accidents
When a vehicle is slowing down what changes its momentum and kinetic energy as force of brakes is an internal force?
When a vehicle is slowing down, the external force of friction between the brakes and the wheels is what changes its momentum and kinetic energy. This force works against the vehicle's motion, transferring kinetic energy into heat and bringing the vehicle to a stop. The force of the brakes is an internal force that generates friction to slow down the vehicle.
What is a break lamp?
A brake lamp is a light on a vehicle that illuminates when the brakes are applied, alerting others that the vehicle is slowing down or stopping. It is an essential safety feature that helps prevent rear-end collisions by signaling drivers behind to take appropriate action.

What does the "No Engine Braking" sign mean and how should drivers respond to it?
The "No Engine Braking" sign means that drivers should not use engine braking, which is a technique where drivers downshift to slow down their vehicle instead of using the brakes. Drivers should respond by using their brakes to slow down instead of engine braking.
Why is it important for drivers to pump their brakes in order to stop their vehicle safely?
Pumping the brakes helps prevent skidding and allows the driver to maintain control of the vehicle while stopping, making it safer for both the driver and others on the road.
Where is the vehicle speed sensor located on a 1995 gmc sierra?
its located next to the drivers side front tire, by the brakes
How do hydraulic disc brakes work to stop a vehicle effectively?
Hydraulic disc brakes work by using fluid pressure to squeeze brake pads against a rotor attached to the wheel. This creates friction, slowing down the vehicle. The hydraulic system allows for precise and powerful braking, making it an effective way to stop a vehicle.
What is Average mileage before replacing brakes?
Hard to answer that one. Some drivers only get 25K out of a set of brakes while others get 90K plus. It really depends on the vehicle and the driver.
Do you have to take test with a truck that has air brakes to get air brake endorsement?
On a US licence, there is no air brake endorsement - there is only a restriction for CDL drivers from operating a commercial vehicle equipped with air brakes if they don't complete the written test AND road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
