Hi,
I am curious, would stopping a car more quickly, or more abruptly, allow its break pads to last even a little longer?
I understand that stopping short may have adverse effects on other parts of the breaking system or on the car or person riding it. I do not intend to stop short in an effort to save my break pads.
It seems to me that the shorter the time in which the break pads are in contact with the spinning inside of the wheel, the less kinetic friction there will be between the two, and the less wear the breaks will suffer from.
Am I missing something? Is there a tradeoff of some sort that will make this action useless? I assume it would be the same for a bicycle
