Gravity affects a car on a slope the same as it affects a car on a horizontal surface. The weight (force) of the car is the same whether it's on a slope or a horizontal surface. Weight is equal to the mass of the car times the acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s2).

You press the brake pedal, creating an unbalanced force, and the car undergoes a negative acceleration. You turn the steering wheel, creating an unbalanced force, and the car changes direction, which is also acceleration. Newton's first law explains why motion changes, or accelerates, which is by means of an unbalanced force.

∙ 13y agoNo. As soon as a car begins to move forward, it immediately
loses contact with the ground, and floats up into the air.

How does gravity affect a car?
It keeps it on the ground
How does changing the incline of a hill affect the speed of a car?
Gravity.
When does gravity affect your car speed?
when you go up and down inclines
What is an example of force acting on a moving car?
Somebody pushing the car; friction slowing down the car; gravity acting on the car (this is especially relevant if the car is going up or down a slope); the engine pushing the car forwards.
What factor causes the motion of a car to slow down as it is moving up the slope of a mountain?
In that case, the car will slow down due both to gravity pulling it backward, and to friction forces.
How does gravity and friction affect the rocks and earth on a mountain slope?
you have sex :)
How does gravity and slope affect a river?
Gravity makes higher and lower water flow which makes it deaper or shallower.
How does a slope affect velocity?
the steeper the slope, the faster the velocity because the pull of gravity will be applied more since the resistance will be lower.

Gravity.
How does gravity affect materials on a slope?
It creates a creep and a slump, causing trees, bushes, ect. to curve/slant.
How does gravity affect the speed and weight of a car?
Arrow dynamics

Gravity.
When does gravity affect your car speed?

How does gravity affect a Nascar race car?
Without gravity, and friction the race car would be flying everywhere and would slide off of the track.
What is an example of force acting on a moving car?
Somebody pushing the car; friction slowing down the car; gravity acting on the car (this is especially relevant if the car is going up or down a slope); the engine pushing the car forwards.
How does the slope in which the car is driving on affect the distance a car will travel?
With slope, there are four different kinds of slope: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. Positive slope is an upward climb, so the car would exert more energy, time, and gas trying to ascend. On the other hand, negative slope travels downward, so a car could use the same amount of energy as the car above and go farther. Zero slope is a straight horizontal line, so the distance the car would travel would be around an average between the distance travelled on the positive slope and the negative slope. Undefined slope is a straight vertical line, so it is nearly impossible for a car to gain any distance without extreme momentum.
