What is controlled braking?
to reduce your speed as quickly as possible while maintaing steering control of your car. technique of applying your brakes to slow or stop quickly without locking your wheels
Does the Space Shuttle have speed brakes?
No, the Space Shuttle did not have traditional speed brakes like those found on aircraft. It used a combination of aerodynamic control surfaces and its main engines to control its speed during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.
What are devices used to control the speed and slow down a ship?
Gas pedal and brakes
When a car is in cruise control and it brakes when going downhill to maintain speed do breaklights activate?
Yes, it is already in the control system. It has to.
What should you do if your car goes into a locked-wheel skid because you braked too hard at a rate of speed?
First you want to release the brake to lessen the skidding and reapply the brake as hard as you can without locking the brakes up. If your brakes lock up you can very easily loose control of the vehicle. if it was because of an ABS failure you need to check and repair your ABS
What is the ABS system in a car?
Anti lock brakes. The system uses a computer, valves, and speed sensors to control wheel lock up during hard braking.Anti lock brakes. The system uses a computer, valves, and speed sensors to control wheel lock up during hard braking.
Things that the covered wagon did not have that later forms of transportation did have?
An internal combustion engine, rubber tires, speed control, brakes
How do you control speed or stop a vehicle which runs with cryogenic engine?
Such a vehicle does not exist. However should one be built (unlikely) it would need to have a speed control (accelerator) and means of stopping (brakes) incorporated as with all vehicles.
What affects speed?
the brakes affect the speed
Why should you avoid slamming on your brakes when you want to stop in shortest possible distance if you are driving at a high speed?
Because you will skid and lose control of the vehicle. Unless it is equipt with anit-lock brakes.
How do you adjust the rear brake drums on a 1995 Nissan Altima?
I assume you mean rear drum brakes. Back the car up getting up a little speed and hit the brakes fairly hard without locking up. Do this several times and the rear brake will self adjust.
Brakes are to a car as control rods are to a nuclear-fission chain reaction - true or false?
True. Brakes control the speed of a car by reducing its kinetic energy, while control rods in a nuclear reactor control the rate of fission reactions by absorbing neutrons and reducing the chain reaction. Both mechanisms are essential for safely managing the system.
