When does one feel the effects of velocity in a moving vehicle when it is moving uniformly or when its motion changes?
One feels the changes in velocity, or acceleration, when the motion of the vehicle changes.
What is an example of kinetic energy as it applies to a vehicle?
Kinetic energy is extra energy resultant of motion. So, a moving vehicle has kinetic energy.
Is it possible for humans to control Kinetic Energy?
YES ... When a car is moving, it has kinetic energy. If you apply the brakes, the vehicle will slow down and thus loose some of that kinetic energy. The energy that was kinetic from the fast moving vehicle is transferred into heat energy in the braking mechanism (the rotor disks and pads.)
What do we call the tendency of a object to stay at rest or to stay in motion?
We use the term inertia to describe the resistance of an object to any change in its motion. If an object is not moving, it doesn't want to move. If it is moving, it doesn't want to change is speed or the direction it is moving. This is covered by Newton in his laws of motion.
What is liquids resistance to flowing is called?
The resistance of a liquid to flowing is its viscosity.Viscosity is a property arising from friction between neighboring particles in a fluid that are moving at different velocities. In liquids, it could be considered the "thickness". For example, maple syrup has a higher viscosity than water.
Explain why air resistance is larger when the car is traveling faster?
Bikes cars and other moving objects experience air resistance as they move.Air resistance is caused by the frictional forces of the air against the vehicle. The faster the vehicle moves the bigger the air resistance becomes.
How do gears make motion easier for a construction vehicle?
Engines work best in a limited range of resistance and rate of rotation. Gears makes it possible to have the engine running in that range (almost) regardless of what speed the vehicle is moving at.W/o gears the engine would first struggle to get the car moving(where the resistance is too high), and once moving, the engine would struggle to get the car to speed, as the engine soon wouldn't be able to spin any faster.
What is air resistance on a car?
Air resistance is also called drag on a vehicle. When the vehicle moves forward it must push the air molecules out of the way, this causes resistance or friction. The faster the vehicle is going, the faster it is pushing the air molecules out of the way causing greater resistance.
What is the fine for not moving a vehicle for street sweeper cleaning?
The fine for not moving a vehicle for street sweeper cleaning varies depending on location. In Lakewood, California the fine for not moving your vehicle is $40.
Why do you fall when you jump from a moving vehicle?
You fall when you jump from a moving vehicle because you get the moving vehicle speed and immediately you have your feet on a stable ground and you have either to stop all of sudden or to run at the vehicle speed (that is higher than your capacity) .
Can you sit in the tailgate of a pickup truck?
It depends on the situation. If the vehicle is not moving, you are allowed to sit on the tailgate. If the vehicle is moving, you are not allowed as it is a moving violation since passengers cannot ride on the exterior of any vehicle.
Air resistance depends on?
The velocity of a moving object....
What is the resistance of air to a moving object?
drag friction
How do you stop air resistance?
By moving in a vacuum. Other than that, basically you can't. You can reduce air resistance, by building vehicles so they have an aerodynamic shape - but you can't eliminate air resistance entirely, for any moving object.
Why does a small lightweight car how does a streamlined design improve fuel economy?
Anytime you have an object moving through the air, power is needed to overcome air resistance. The less resistance a vehicle has, the less power that is needed to push through the air and therefore, less fuel used.
How fast is a vehicle moving with a slow moving vehicle sign on it?
It is moving at a maximum legal speed of 25 mph. However, it could be going slower. Legally, even if the vehicle can exceed 25 mph, it is not supposed to.
Is a tint violation a moving violation in California?
No its not a moving violation. Moving violations are a kind of violation that you get when your vehicle is moving.
