Many factors affect the speed of a car, some of the most common are:

  • the motive force that the engine of the vehicle produces
  • The cumulative affects of drag and friction, which act to slow the car down

How the Doppler effect is used by the police to measure the speed of a car.?

Police use radar technology to measure the speed of a car by sending out a radio wave towards the vehicle. The radio wave bounces off the car and returns to the radar unit. The Doppler effect causes a shift in the frequency of the returning wave, allowing the radar unit to calculate the speed of the car based on this frequency shift.


When a Car's speed triples its kinetic energy?

When a car's speed triples, its kinetic energy increases by a factor of nine. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity - so when the velocity triples, the kinetic energy increases by the square of that factor (3^2 = 9).
