Car Brakes
Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds
A car's brakes are one of its most important safety features and generally come in one of two types: disc or drum. Disc brakes use a spinning disc, which is pinched between brake pads mounted on callipers to slow the motion of the car. Drum brakes, on the other hand, use shoes that push outward to contact the inside of a spinning cylinder.
