Well somebody is wondering about the world around themselves! Good job, I'm very proud of you. Now I'm so proud, ill answer! The reason why wet brakes are less efficient is because they have less grip around (usually) tires or what ever they need to stop. What actually goes on in brakes is that they create a high pressure and friction environment in which usually overcomes the force it needs to. But when they are wet they cant enforce as much friction and pressure, allowing the object (lets assume tire) to go on for a longer distance.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you tend to slip on wet and smooth surfaces?
Smooth surfaces are surfaces that have less contact with things touching them and thus have less friction. Less friction means there are fewer contact points to stop your motion. Think of it like this: you are climbing a tree. You grab the next branch. Which is more likely to hold you in place (stopping your motion down), one finger or four? More contact points, meaning more fingers and more friction, means you it is more difficult for gravity (or any other force) to pull you down. In the same way, more contact points because of more friction, such as sand paper, is held in place more firmly. As for water, it acts as a lubricant which causes less friction by stopping the points of contact from actually touching.
Determine the stopping distance by these factors?
The two major factors are; friction between tires and road; friction between brake pads and rotors. Wind speed plays a small role that is usually much less of an effect than the aforementioned.
Is range of motion testing subjective or objective?
Active range of motion is that motion performed voluntarily by a patient and is subjective in nature as the patient can move the body part as far or as little as they wish. Passive range of motion, which is that motion of a body part performed by an examiner is objective as the voluntary restriction of the motion is less likely to be influenced by the patient being examined.
Why does less light pass through a mixture when the starch is more concentrated?
Starch is not soluble so therefore a higher concentration will have more starch molecules stopping light from going through.
If your birth control gets too hot or too cold does it become less effective?
Yes, birth control pills will become less effective if stored in temperatures which are too hot or too cold. Ideally, they should be stored at temperatures between 68 and 77 degrees. Excess moisture is not good for them either, so storing them in the bathroom is not a good idea.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using rod brakes on bicycles?
Advantages of rod brakes on bicycles include their simplicity and durability, as they are less prone to damage and require minimal maintenance. However, they can be less effective in wet conditions and may not provide as much stopping power as other brake types, such as disc 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.
What are the advantages of disc brakes over other types of brakes?
Disc brakes offer better stopping power, improved performance in wet conditions, and require less maintenance compared to other types of brakes like drum brakes.
What are the advantages of bikes with disc brakes over bikes with traditional rim brakes?
Bikes with disc brakes offer better stopping power, especially in wet or muddy conditions. They also require less maintenance and are less affected by rim wear.
What are the advantages of disc brakes on a bike compared to other types of brakes?
Disc brakes on a bike offer better stopping power, especially in wet conditions, and require less maintenance compared to other types of brakes like rim brakes. They also provide more consistent braking performance and are less affected by rim wear.
What are the advantages of using bicycle disc brakes over traditional rim brakes?
Bicycle disc brakes offer better stopping power, especially in wet conditions, and require less maintenance compared to traditional rim brakes. They also provide more consistent braking performance and are less affected by rim wear.
What are the advantages of using bicycle disk brakes over traditional rim brakes?
Bicycle disk brakes offer better stopping power, especially in wet conditions, and are less affected by rim wear. They also provide more consistent braking performance and require less maintenance compared to traditional rim brakes.
What are the advantages of 29er disc brakes over other types of brakes?
29er disc brakes offer several advantages over other types of brakes, such as increased stopping power, better performance in wet or muddy conditions, and less maintenance required.
What are the different types of bicycle brake systems available, and how do they compare in terms of performance and functionality?
There are three main types of bicycle brake systems: rim brakes, disc brakes, and drum brakes. Rim brakes are the most common and are located on the wheel rims. They are lightweight and easy to maintain but can be less effective in wet conditions. Disc brakes are located on the wheel hub and provide better stopping power and performance, especially in wet conditions. Drum brakes are less common and are located inside the wheel hub. They are durable and low maintenance but can be heavier and less efficient than disc brakes. Overall, disc brakes are considered to offer the best performance and functionality among the three types of brake systems.
What are the advantages of using disk brakes on a mountain bike compared to other types of brakes?
Disk brakes on a mountain bike offer better stopping power, improved performance in wet conditions, and require less maintenance compared to other types of brakes like rim brakes.
What are the advantages of using bike disc brakes over traditional rim brakes?
Bike disc brakes offer better stopping power, especially in wet or muddy conditions, and require less maintenance compared to traditional rim brakes. They also provide more consistent braking performance and are less affected by rim wear.
How does friction affect stopping distance?
Some of the kinetic energy of a body in motion is used up in overcoming friction, which acts in the direction opposite to that of the motion. The reduction in energy means that the stopping force needs less time to do its work.
