they're so heavy that it takes the brakes some time to dissipate all that moving energy.

How do antibacterials work?
Traditional disinfectants act according to the "immediate elimination principle", i.e. a very effective method in the short run, sine microbes on the surface being treated are killed immediately, but it is clearly ineffective in terms of prevention, since little is done to prevent their resurgence. For example, normal disinfectants immediately eliminate microbes from the tables of a public venue, but if a hand is laid upon the surface, it is contaminated again. In contrast with traditional disinfectant, Bios can provide constant protection against germs by releasing its antibacterial power slowly and constantly. The mineral antibacterial substances contained in the body of the tile fight against microbes in three ways: they stop cell metabolism, stop membrane conveyance processes and prevent cell multiplication.
When do human eyes stop growing?

How magnetic trains stop?
By reversing the polarity of the magnets and there are also friction brakes.
How does an emergency brake stop a high speed train?

Breifly describe how applying the brakes to stop a bicycle is an example of force?
The brakes apply force to the wheel, causing friction which stops it.
How do maglev trains slow down?
You slowly decrease the power of the electromagnets.
Is it bad to slow down to a complete stop from for example 70mileshr in neutral with clutch disengaged by applying brakes?
I wouldn't say it was bad but you're making the brakes work harder.
A train rolls to a stop along a horizontal track without the conductor applying the brakes What answer choice BEST explains why this occurred?
friction
Do brakes on a bike work because of Gravity?
No brakes on anything work because of gravity. Pressure and friction are what stop anything utilizing brakes. On a bike, you pull the brake lever on the handle bar and it pulls the line connected to your brakes. The two brakes pads on either side of your wheel compress, applying friction and thus stopping your bike. The harder you pull, the faster you stop.

Why does your car vibrate when your at a stop light or while applying the brakes for a 2001 dodge stratus?
If you are saying it vibrates while applying the brakes just before you come to a stop, then the brake rotors are warped. You will need to have them turned and trued, and replace the front brake pads. If you are saying it vibrates while you are sitting still, then look for a vacuum leak.If you are saying it vibrates while applying the brakes just before you come to a stop, then the brake rotors are warped.

When the brake pads are worn the rivets will actually touch the brake rotor when the brakes are applied. The brakes should be changed immediately.
When Maggie applies the brakes of her car the car slows unifromly from 15.4 meterspersecond to 0 ms in 2.46 s How many meters before a stop sign must she apply the brakes in order to stop at the sign?
You have given us the rate of deacceleration when Maggie applies the brakes of her car but at what velocity is Maggie travelling before the stop sign? Alternatively; having ceased all movement by applying the brakes of her car the question has no relevance.
