Start by pushing the bike along with the bar, then use one brake at a time, Rear brake should easily lock the wheel up when operated. Front wheel should give good resistance.
If that feels OK, get on the bike. Build up some speed, then apply a brake. Make a point of scooting backward and bracing your arms before applying the front brake to avoid topppling over.

First test is to squeeze the brake levers, they should be firm and stop some way from the handle bar. Next test is to squeeze one brake at a time while pushing at the bike to check that the wheels lock up. If these tests are OK, then get on and ride. Apply brakes at low speed, check that bike stops OK. If that's OK too you're probably good to go.
This type of brake is called a coaster brake, or a foot brake.
If it's a disc brake bike, then Rotor is another name for the brake disc. If it's a BMX rotor may be another name for gyro / detangler - the thingy that lets you spin the bars on a brake-equipped bike w/o making a mess of the brake wires.
