Into the brake lines

The tires

The atmosphere

Back into the brake chambers

17 / 30

To stop a vehicle, brake shoe linings are forced against the machined surfaces of the brake drums, creating friction, which produces what?

Heat

All of these

23 / 30

What stops the wheels from turning?

When the tires maintain enough inflation
