If the engine is revving up, then the transmission is having problems. If the engine is not revving, then check the linkage from the accelerator to the throttle body.

Considering the scientific meaning of the word acceleration how could using the term acclerator when talking about a car's gas pedal lead to confusion?

When you push down on the cars accelerator, you are not always 'accelerating'. Sometimes, you are just pushing down to maintain a constant speed, because the engine wants to slow your motion down, that and the friction of your tyres on the road. Acceleration requires a rate of increase or decrease of speed. Hence the name 'accelerator' is misleading if your speed is not changing.


Where did the idiom put the pedal to the medal come from?

To my understanding, the saying is rightly "put the pedal to the metal", and would come from pressing a car's accelerator all the way down to the metal flooring.

What is revving a car mean?

To rev the engine simply means pressing the accelerator down with the car in neutral as if you are preparing to take off fast for a race.


What is the ability to change the speed or direction of the vehicle?

The ability to change the speed or direction of a vehicle is controlled by the accelerator and brake pedals, as well as the steering wheel. Increasing pressure on the accelerator pedal speeds up the vehicle, while pressing the brake pedal slows it down. Turning the steering wheel changes the direction of the vehicle.


What is another word for acceleration while slowing down?

That would be "Deceleration" or negative acceleration.


How can floor mats affect acceleration?

Poor quality floor mats without proper non-slip backing can slide under the accelerator. The floor mat can then either impede the accelerator or bunch up and push the accelator down.


What are examples of Acceleration by increasing speed?

-- Dropping a stone off the edge of a cliff.-- Flooring the "accelerator" pedal while keeping the wheel straight.-- The speed of a bottle rocket or a Delta rocket before their fuel is used up or engine is shut down.


What is positive and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration occurs when an object's velocity is increasing over time, while negative acceleration (or deceleration) happens when an object's velocity is decreasing over time. Positive acceleration can be due to speeding up, turning, or changing direction, while negative acceleration is typically caused by slowing down or stopping.

Is it possible for an object to be slowing down while it's acceleration is increasing in magnitude?

If the object is moving in a positive direktion along its x-axis and the acceleration is in the opposite direction (negative acceleration, i.e. retardation), then yes. Lets say the acceleration is -2 m/s^2 and its increasing with a magnitude of 2 then the new acceleration would be -4 m/s^2. Sure, the object was already slowing down but now its slowing down even more.
