Answer:

The motor is supposed to turn/move yes.
I suggest you go to a good bicycle shop. There you can see the mechanisms for at least 2 types of brakes, shoe clamp and disk. If your family has a relatively new car with disk brakes, go jack it up, take one wheel off and you can see it. You could also go to a auto junk yard and look at some car brakes, probably can find drum and disk brakes, or go to your local car repair shop, they may have a car up on a lift doing a brake job. Check out pedia, probably a good write up on brakes there. good luck
