What happens to the temperature of a cars brakes when they are applied?
They get hot.
Which force stops a train when the brakes are applied?
Kinetic friction is the force that stops a train when the brakes are applied
What energy is transferred when a vehicle stops?
Assuming the vehicle stops because the brakes are applied - it would be kinetic energy transferred to heat via friction with the brake pads and brake shoes (mostly). Some would be kinetic energy transformed to heat via friction with the wheels on the road and the turning parts of the axle, transmission, etc.
When does a train's brakes start exerting force on the train's wheels?
Assuming that the brakes are not "dragging" they start exerting force on the wheels when they are applied by the engineer.
Why do the brakes of a car heat up when the brakes are applied?
Because the brakes are used to reduce the kinetic energy of the car. When you do that, the extra kinetic energy has to go somewhere, because energy is never destroyed. The brakes do a great job of converting kinetic energy into heat energy, which is very soon gone with the wind. Don't forget where that energy came from ... the gasoline that you paid good money for, and then watched as it blew away in the air running through the fenders.
What happens to the speed of a motor car when brakes are gently applied?
The speed of the motor vehicle is gently slowed down. The more aggressive the brakes are applied the faster the vehicle slows down eventually coming to a full stop.

What happens when sudden brakes are applied to the vehicle without using clutch?
If the vehicle is stopped without using the clutch , the engine will give jerks and turn off if the vehicle is in higher gear and the speed is not according to the range of the gear. Although, if the vehicle is being driven in higher gears and slight brakes are applied, no effect will be there if the vehicle's speed remains in the corresponding range. Example: if you are driving a vehicle at 90km/h in 5th gear and you bring it down to 60km/h by applying brakes without using the clutch, nothing will happen and you can continue driving by accelerating again.
What would cause the brake pedal to pump when brakes are applied ina 2000 Honda passport?
Your vehicle is equipped with abs and anti lock brakes, when applied hard enough the system interprets it as a panic stop and pulses the brakes to prevent lock up and skidding.
When the brakes are applied a vibration comes from the front of a vehicle with a disc drum system what could be the cause?
brake caliber
What does it mean when you cage a brake on a vehicle?
caged the brakes means they made them release or not applied so that they can make adjustments.
What is braking and braking distances?
Braking in a moving vehicle is applying the brakes to slow or halt movement, usually by depressing a pedal. The braking distance is the distance between the time the brakes are applied and the time the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Why does a moving truck takes a much longer time to stop than that taken by a car when brakes are applied on 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.
What happens when brakes lock?
You lose the ability to steer the vehicle, and usually it sends your car into a skid.
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.
When brakes are applied too hard or too quickly when you are moving forward this could be the result?
Weight movement from the vehicle, such as the drop of the hood.
