As we were told by Isaac newton, force equals mass times acceleration. If your engine produces a given amount of force, then the more mass you have to accelerate, the less acceleration will result. Of course, this is not the only aspect of adding mass to a race car. If the mass is added in the form of a heavier and more powerful engine, then we are no longer dealing with the same amount of force, we have increased both force and mass, so we might easily get more acceleration, not less. In addition, heavier cars get better traction. So in reality this is a complicated situation.
What else can I help you with?
How does the size of a toy car affect its speed?
It would affect its speed because the weight of the car is gonna slow it down
Can weight effect the speed of a race car?
The weight would create Drag. Drag would slow the dragster down. In races it could be good in away. It could slam into other drivers. The dragster would also be strong and resistant.By: Donny Heitler
What causes car engine to race then slow down repeatedly at start up?
That is normally caused by an air leak in the induction system.
What will slow a dragster car down?
A parachute.
Why does your car slow down uphill?
Gravity
Why does a car slow down when you accelerate?
A car goes faster when you accelerate. It slows down when you brake.
What force could be added to slow a car down when it is going down a ramp?
Friction between the tires and the road surface can slow down a car going down a ramp. The brakes can also be applied to introduce additional friction and slow the car further. Additionally, aerodynamic drag can play a minor role in slowing down the car at higher speeds.
What factor causes the motion of a car to slow down as it is moving up the slope of a mountain?
The main factor that causes the motion of a car to slow down as it moves up a slope is gravity. Gravity acts in the opposite direction to the car's motion, pulling it back down the slope. This force opposes the car's forward movement, making it slow down.
What are some reason that a race car driver might lose a race?
Crash Flat Tire Drives Slow Runs out of gas
How do you slow down your car while driving?
Press the brakes or down shift
Why does the top 3 F1 drivers measure weight after their race?
So that the FIA can check if the weight of the driver plus the car is at least 605kg at the end of the race.
Why a driver will make his car accelerate or decelerate?
To make the car go or slow down.
