aerodynamics affects a car due to the force of drag. as you drive the car, you excerpt a force in one direction. since the air is a fluid, is excerpts and equal and opposite force on the car. you can overcome this force by changing the shape of the car to allow the air to flow over it more smoothly, thus reducing the drag.
its similar to dragging your hand through water. if you drag your hand with your palm perpendicular to the direction of motion, you'll experience more drag then if you dragged your hand with your palm parallel to the motion.

What are aerodynamics and how do they affect roller coaster speeds?
how the product (in this case the cart) is designed to achieve so it gets to the fastest speed and gets the greatest distance. the better the aerodynamics, the faster the rollercoaster will go and the worst the aerodynamics the slower it will go
