Brake Systems Flashcards
What is Kinetic Friction?
Friction in motion.
What is Static Friction?
Stationary Friction.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
What is Pascals Law?
Pressure applied to any part of a confined fluid transmit to every other point with no loss.
What is the formula for Pascals Law?
Pressure = Force / Area
If the weight of an object is doubled, what happens to the Kinetic Energy?
The Kinetic Energy is also Doubled.
If the speed of an object is doubled, what happens to the Kinetic Energy?
The Kinetic Energy will be x4.
What is the Coefficient of Friction?
The amount of Frictions generated between 2 surfaces.
What is the Formula for finding the Coefficient of Friction?
Dividing the Force to pull an object by the weight of the object.
If the Coefficient of Friction is to high, what can occure?
Brake fade.
What are the 3 types of Power Brakes?
Vacuum assist, Hydraulic assist & Integral (ABS)
What is the purpose of the Master Cylinder?
To convert mechanical force into hydraulic force.
What type of Drum brake is known as the ‘leading-trailing’ system?
Non-Servo.
Which drum brake system uses the primary shoe for majority of the work?
Non-Servo.
Which drum brake system uses the secondary shoe for majority of the work?
Duo-Servo.
