Is the force needed to use automobile brakes the same as using an airplane rudder
No. One decelerates; the other changes direction.
Do you mean how hard you have to push the pedal? If so, it's hard to say. Cars may or may not have power brakes, airplanes may or may not have something similar. I'd think it also depends on how fast the plane is going, and crosswinds, etc.
No, the force required to use automobile brakes is not the same as using an airplane rudder. The force required for each of these controls varies depending on the specific design and mechanisms of the braking and steering systems.
To understand the force required to use automobile brakes, you can consider the braking system in a typical car. When you press the brake pedal in a car, it activates the hydraulic brake system. This system uses brake fluid to transfer the force from your foot on the pedal to the brake calipers that apply pressure on the brake pads against the rotating brake discs or drums. The force required to generate the necessary braking force depends on various factors such as the size of the brake calipers, the friction coefficient between the brake pads and the discs/drums, and the speed at which you want to decelerate.
In contrast, using an airplane rudder involves controlling the yaw or side-to-side movement of the aircraft. The rudder is typically operated using foot pedals. However, the force required to operate the rudder in an airplane can vary depending on the size and design of the aircraft, as well as the aerodynamic forces acting on the control surfaces. The forces on the rudder are typically controlled by hydraulic or mechanical systems, and the force required to operate the rudder is generally lighter compared to the force required for braking in an automobile.
Therefore, while both automobile brakes and airplane rudder control involve exerting force on a control mechanism, the amount of force required can differ significantly due to the different mechanical systems and aerodynamic factors involved in each case.
