Understanding Automotive Braking Systems

Which of the following is a type of automotive braking system?

• Drum brake system

• Hydraulic brake system

• Pneumatic brake system

• All of the above

What is the primary function of brake pads in a disc brake system?

• To increase the speed of the vehicle

• To provide a smooth ride

• To create friction with the brake rotor

• To cool the brake fluid

In a hydraulic braking system, what principle is primarily used to transmit force?

• Pascal's Law

• Newton's Third Law

• Bernoulli's Principle

• Archimedes' Principle

Which component in an anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up?

• Brake caliper

• ABS sensor

• ABS modulator

• Brake drum

What is the main purpose of brake fluid in a hydraulic braking system?

• To lubricate the brake pads

• To transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake mechanism

• To cool the brake rotors

• To clean the brake lines

Which of the following is NOT a component of a typical disc brake system?

• Brake rotor

• Brake drum

• Brake caliper

• Brake pads

What is the main advantage of anti-lock braking systems (ABS)?

• They reduce brake noise

• They prevent wheel lock-up during braking

• They increase fuel efficiency

• They enhance vehicle acceleration

Which of the following is a common sign that brake maintenance is needed?

• Increased fuel consumption

• Squeaking or grinding noises when braking

• Faster acceleration

• Smooth and quiet braking

In a hydraulic braking system, what happens to the brake fluid when the brake pedal is pressed?

• It evaporates

• It compresses

• It transfers pressure to the brake components

• It solidifies

What is the role of the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system?

• To store brake fluid

• To convert pedal force into hydraulic pressure

• To cool the brake system

• To clean the brake lines
