Streamlining is an application of fluid dynamics to an object in order to reduce its drag coefficient.
The drag force on an object is determined by three things, the shape of the object, the fluid it's moving through, and how fast it is moving through that fluid.
The idea of streamlining is to reduce the drag coefficient of a car by changing it's shape, thus reduces the amount of force the car has to fight against at a given speed or alternatively given the car's power allow it to go faster.
It makes the car move easily through the air, which cuts down fuel consumtion. For race cars it gives more speed.

Why are cars streamlined?
Streamlining helps the cars reduce friction, which makes them have better gas mileage and be able to move faster.
How does wind speed effect cars?
Wind speed may affect cars, effect change to aspects of cars or have an effect upon cars but, to say that wind speed effects cars is most likely a typo. I recommend changing the question.
Why does a high-speed collision between two cars have more damage than a low-speed collision between two cars?
There is more kinetic energy in the collision involving the high-speed cars than there is in the collision involving the low-speed cars, resulting in a greater amount of force exerted on each car, prompting more damage.
How does the speed of the combined cars compare to the speed of the car before the collision when a parked car is hit by a moving car and the two cars stick together?
The combined VELOCITY of two cars that crash will be somewhere between that of the individual cars. In this case, the combined speed will be less than the speed of the car that was moving before the crash.If you know the velocities and the masses, the exact speeds can be calculated using conservation of momentum.
Why a high speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars?
nose
What forces affect a race cars speed on a track?
Friction and Gravitational forces
Why streamlining important?
streamlining is important because with out it cars,planes and some boats would go to fast and out of control
What three factors affects a co2 cars speed?
friction, drag, and propulsion force
Why are cars streamlined?

How does streamlining effect fuel efficiency?
Wacking cars is the answer to most things. Wacking cars makes you get happy. Wacking cars like a Wacker-a-car-er is the answer. Wack Cars.
What is streamlining in friction?
streamlining is the process by which the designs of moving tools like cars are made easy for the air to flow, to avoid air resistance or friction.
When riding in a car we can sense changes in speed or direction through the forces the car applies on us. Do we wear seat belts in cars and airplanes to protect us from speed or from acceleration?
Acceleration
What is used to record a cars speed?
A speedometer is a tool used to record a cars speed.
Why do people love cars?
People love cars for their speed and design. A person with love for speed will love sports cars.
How does wind speed effect cars?
Wind speed may affect cars, effect change to aspects of cars or have an effect upon cars but, to say that wind speed effects cars is most likely a typo. I recommend changing the question.
How does wind tunnel affect the environment?
It doesn't directly. A wind tunnel is used to detect the airflow over objects such as cars and planes to improve the streamlining.
What do 2010 cars have that 1900 cars don't?
they have SPEED
