How does wind speed effect cars?
Wind speed can affect cars by creating aerodynamic forces such as drag and lift. Higher wind speeds can increase resistance on the vehicle, leading to reduced fuel efficiency and potentially affecting handling. Strong gusts of wind can also make driving more challenging, especially for taller or lighter vehicles.
What controls both the levitation of the cars and the trains speed?
(electro) Magnets in the "track".
Why do race cars have curved tops?
I reckon it is for aerodynamics so the car can have more speed and stay on the track.
How does the force exerted affect fan the car's speed pertaining to fan cars?
by moving it
How does the slope of a track effect a car's speed?
The turns of a track are usually sloped (banked). This allows the cars to turn at higher speeds since they are less likely to slide.
Which cars offer a top speed in excess of 200mph?
There are many cars that have a top speed in excess of 200 mph. For example, some stock cars fall into this category. The 200 Mph Club and Road and Track provide details of the performance of many cars such as the Jaguar and McLaren models of high performance vehicles.
What makes the Boomerang at Wild Adventures stay on the tracks?
The Boomerang at Wild Adventures in Georgia is a shuttle roller coaster that works the way almost all coasters do to keep its cars on the tracks. The railways are aligned in 3D space so that the forces acting on the cars actually force the cars down onto the trackway throughout the ride. If we look an an example, it may be a little clearer. First, the two forces acting on the cars are gravity and the inertia of the cars themselves. Let's jump. If a coaster track carries the cars down and into, say, a left hand turn, the plane of the trackway is tilted to the left as well. This makes the cars tilt to the left. And as the cars are vectored around to the left, they are pushing down and to the right to make the turn. That is, to change their direction from down and straight to down and left, they push down and right. Focus on this. The track must push back on the cars as much as the cars push on the track or something bad happens. As the cars are going down and left, they are pushing down and to the right. The track must push up and to the left to make the cars go left. So the cars are being forced "down" onto the track at all times. If you've ridden this coaster, when it makes a loop, the cars and passengers are upside down. But the cars have their wheels pressed onto the track, even upside down. The cars are pressed "up" onto the track. And the riders have their butts pressed into the seats when the cars are making the upside down loop. So the cars are being pressed onto the track at all times. The cars usually have a couple of small safety wheels that reach down under the tracks, but the track is routed and tilted to cause the cars to be vectored "down and onto the track" throughout the ride.
How do roller coasters roll?
They roll on small wheels. :) The cars are pulled (or pushed) to the top of the first hill on the track. Traditionally it is pulled to the top by a chain in the track that is driven by a motor on the ground. The first hill is always the highest point on the track, thus the cars can "coast" down the rest of the track. If one of the later hills were higher than the first hill, then the cars would not be able to coast to the top of the higher hill. When ever the cars go down, they gain enough speed to coast to the top of the next hill.
What limits a cars speed?
There are a variation of things that affect the limit of a cars speed, primarily the horsepower and torque ratings of the car, in comparison to the weight of the car, but even with high ratings in comparison to weight, most cars also have a governing chip in the computer system, that shuts of the valves at a certain designated speed. I hope this answers your question.
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
How does speed affect vehicles?
Speed has a direct affect on the magnitude of forces experienced by the vehicle. Force is mass x acceleration( or deceleration). This is why brakes/tires on performance cars are so much larger having to manage a great amount of energy during braking/cornering. Drag( the force of air on an object) is affected by speed, it goes up 4 times( quadruples) as speed doubles . It would take 4 times the current horsepower to double the vehicles top speed. This is why manufacturers/race teams spend millions of dollars in wind tunnel research/development. Drag even at highway speed a noticeable affect on fuel economy.
How do formula one cars reach their top speeds?
F1 cars never really get up to their absolute top speed as even in qualifying, they wouldn't get to their max speed. To get to high speed at tracks like Monza and SPA during a qualifying race weekend session. Low downforce with aero stream can help to get a F1 car to it top speed at the track. For off track, it those with a long enough road bearing in mind tyres can explode and to have enough fuel to get to speed without effecting performance.
