Tech A says that water-soaked brake shoes can be a cause of brake fade. Tech B says that disc brakes dissipate heat faster than drum brakes. Who is correct?

• Tech A

• Tech B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

Tech A says that a disc brake operates by clamping friction materials to the outside of a disc. Tech B says that a drum brake operates by clamping friction materials to the outside of a drum. Who is correct?

• Tech A

• Tech B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

Tech A says that tire pressure does not affect braking. Tech B says that heavy vehicle loads increase stopping distance. Who is correct?

Tech A says that light-duty service brakes are typically applied hydraulically. Tech B says that light-duty parking brakes are typically applied hydraulically. Who is correct?

• Tech A

• Tech B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

Tech A says that the heavier the vehicle, the more stopping power is needed. Tech B says that the faster a vehicle is moving, the more braking power is needed. Who is correct?

Tech A says that kinetic energy is created during braking to stop the vehicle. Tech B says that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy during braking. Who is correct?

• Tech A

• Tech B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

Tech A says that the brake pedal uses leverage to multiply foot pressure. Tech B says that when braking hard while moving forward, the vehicle's weight transfers to the rear wheels, increasing their traction. Who is correct?

• Tech A

• Tech B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

Tech A says that friction brakes can fade due to overheating of the brake lining. Tech B says that friction brakes can fade due to overheating of the brake fluid. Who is correct?
