When you get into a car accident what causes you to move forward with the car?
inertia
What causes the forward force on a car?
The engine does. Sometimes the wind can be behind it too
When a car makes a sharp left turn what causes the passenger to move toward the right side of the car?
centrifugal force
Some people say that the force of inertia throws the passengers forward when when the a car brakes sharply What is wrong with this explanation?
There is no such thing as "force of inertia". The passengers are thrown forward, maintaining their initial motion. This is an application of Newton's First Law, which states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon a force. The force of the car brake is acted upon the car and not on the passengers. This is why the passengers continue to move forward for a second when the car stops.
What is a common unbalanced force that acts on objects in motion?
When forces are balanced, then the object cannot move. Imagine a car on neutral gear. You and your friend are pushing on the car; you are pushing it forward from the back and your friend is pushing it backward from the front. If both you and your friend are applying the same amount of force, then the car isn't going to go anywhere. But if you are applying more force than your friend, the car will move forward at the difference between your force and your friend's force.
How do you write essay about Newton's laws of motion to car safety equipment?
You could write that they helped people to understand the concepts of it and so they decided that if a car gets hit straight on the car will want to move forward but won't so then that force will cause you to fly forward and so with the car safety equipment the force won't pull you forward cause you will have a seat belt on that stops you from flying forward at the speed of the impact.
If a car is traveling on the highway at a constant velocity the force that pushes the car forward must be?
1. force that moves a car forward is the friction force between the tires and the road (ignoring what is going on mechanically in the car) 2. if the car is travelling at constant velocity, net force is zero - forces pushing car forward are equal to forces pushing car back
How friction is useful in pushing a car?
If you are behind a car, about to push it forward from a resting position, you will need to exert a force on the car to accelerate it from resting position. While you are pushing against the car, however, there will be a reaction force pushing back at you. In order to produce a large net force against the car without being pushed backward yourself, you need to increase the friction of your feet against the ground...so that the frictional force between your feet and the ground prevents you from sliding backward. The combinations of the frictional force and your force pushing forward against the car will cause the car to move forward. The frictional force of the car being moved from resting position also has to be overcome, of course.
Compare the sizes of forward force and air resistance while a car is moving at 30mph?
when a car is speeding up how does the forward force and air resistance compare
Why car will not move forward?
maybe not in gear
Why does a car need energy to move at a steady speed?
A car needs energy to move at a steady speed because it needs to equalize the force of air pressure by moving forward.
What force causes a car to stop?
Rolling friction causes a car to stop.
