16 / 30

What happens if one or two wheels had brakes that were not properly adjusted?

Weaker fuel economy

Ten times

Four times

Six times

Eight times

18 / 30

Can air be compressed into a much smaller space than it normally occupies?

Yes

19 / 30

Which statement is false? Stopping distance consists of the following factors...

Braking distance

Friction

All of these

Mechanical energy

The energy of heat

21 / 30

What stops the wheels from turning?

When enough friction is created between brake linings and drums

When the air pressure is exhausted from the chambers

When the tires maintain enough inflation

When enough air pressure is applied within the brake lines

22 / 30

Excessive use of the brakes would cause what?

A build-up of heat greater than the brake drums could absorb and dissipate

All of these

Harder pressure to depress the brake pedal

A wheel lock-up

23 / 30

What happens when enough friction is created between brake linings and drums?
