speed! a moving car is having a force greater than the friction of the tires/air (and gravity on a steep upward hill) applied to it, and is moving forward. The force can come from the engine, or external forces.

it stays the same


As you drive down the road in a car why objects inside the car appearto be stationary when compared to the objects outside of the car?

When you are driving, the objects inside the car are moving at the same speed and direction as the car, so they appear stationary relative to you. On the other hand, the objects outside the car are stationary or moving at varying speeds, which creates a visual contrast making them seem like they are moving relative to you.


If you're on a moving car are you moving?

The best that can be said is that you are moving relative to the Earth's surface.


What keeps a car stationary when parked on a steep hill?

The handbrake is used to stop a stationary car rolling downhill. The transmission can also stop a car from moving when parked.


A moving bumper car hits the back bumper of a stationary bumper car The momentum of the stationary car increases Which happens to the momentum of the moving bumper car?

The momentum of the moving bumper car decreases because some of its momentum is transferred to the stationary bumper car during the collision. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the system (both cars) remains the same before and after the collision.


If I hit a drunk driver Who is at fault in Kansas?

It depends on whether or not the car is stationary at the time of the accident. If your car is stationary and they stumble into it, then they are at fault. However, if your car is moving when they are hit then you're at fault.


If a car hits a stationary car which direction will they move?

Whichever direction the traveling car was moving, until something stops them.


Why is that when car speeds up you move backward?

It's called inertia, and basically means that stuff that's stationary will resist changing into stuff that's moving, and stuff that's moving will resist changing into stuff that's stationary. The car begins to move, but you're still - so the car will push at you with the backrest until you're moving together with the car.


Is it possible to tell the difference between moving at a constant velocity and not moving at all?

Yes, it is possible. If you are moving at a constant velocity, you will feel no acceleration or deceleration. In contrast, if you are not moving at all, you will feel stationary with no change in velocity.


What part of speech is the word stationary?

Stationary is an adjective: 'I parked my car on a steep hill and made sure that it was stationary before I walked away.'


What is the antonym of stationary?

The antonym of stationary is mobile.


If a car backs into you while you are stationary whos at fault?

The car that is moving is the only one with the power to avoid the accident therefore, the other car is at fault. They may say they weren't moving as well though. Good luck.
