the brake pads against a rotor. Breaking harder increases the magnitude of the normal force‚ which results in the increase of the force of friction acting on the rotor. Given that the rotor is attached to the steering wheel‚ as the rotor reduces its speed so does the wheel. With disc brakes on cars‚ the brake can prevent the wheel from turning lot faster than the friction from the road can stop the car from moving. This can cause the wheels to lock‚ sending the vehicle into an uncontrollable skid. Wheel
