The car is being acted upon by gravity and friction. The reason that the car doesn't slide down the hill is because friction is keeping the car in place.

What is the net force on the different cars of a subway train that is traveling at constant velocity?

If anything is traveling at constant velocity, then the net force acting on it must be zero.+++Strictly, it is travelling at constant speed, not velocity, because you have not specified the directions of the train and the retarding forces acting on it.


Why do cars slide when braking?

Cars slide when braking because the friction between the tires and the road is not enough to stop the car's momentum. This lack of friction causes the tires to lose traction and slide instead of gripping the road surface.


How does wet roads help racing cars?

It doesn't wet roads take traction away from racing cars. Race cars are fastest with slick tires, when the road is wet it forces them to use threaded tires to dissplace the water. If the racers want to slide easily around corners that the wet road would be helpful

Why people use the motocicle in India?

Well people uses more motorcycles then cars because when there's some traffic they can just slide in between the cars and pass and for the cars it takes longer they can't just slide and pass, they have to wait their turn. :)

What must happen to the forces if the cars motion is to change?

If a car's motion is to change, its forces must also change. This could involve a change in the direction or magnitude of the forces acting on the car, such as braking to slow down or accelerating to speed up. Newton's first law states that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

How do you explain force?

Force - A force is a push or pull that is acting upon an object. Forces result from interactions between two objects. Most interactions involve contact. If you hit the wall, the wall hits you back. The contact interaction between your hand and the wall results in a mutual push upon both objects. The wall becomes nicked (if hit hard enough) and your hand hurts. Bumper cars experience mutual forces acting between them due to contact during a collision. Some forces can act from a distance without actual contact between the two interacting objects. Gravity is one such force. On a free fall ride, there is a force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and your body even though the Earth and your body are not in contact
