What applies torque in an automobile engine?

To explain this in simple terms, when the spark plug fires, it burns the gas/air mixture. This causes an explosion. The explosion forces the piston down. This forcing the piston down causes the crankshaft, which the piston is connected to, to turn. The turning of the crankshaft creates a turning force. This force or energy is sent to the transmission by way of the torque converter. This torque converter takes this turning power and turns into energy the tranmission can use. In turn the tranmission does its job and it turns the axis. This is what causes the wheels to turn. So the torque itself is created by the downward force of the pistons.


Which force pushes a moving vehicle forward?

The engine causes the tires of the vehicle to turn. The tires are made of rubber in order to maximize the friction (traction) between the tires and the concrete. It is the tires and the force of friction which causes a vehicle to move forward (or backward, for that matter).


What forces act on airplane to keep it at a level altitude?

If the aircraft's altitude is constant, that means its vertical speed is zero. That indicates zero vertical component of any acceleration, which in turn implies that vertical force components are balanced. So you can say with assurance that the sum of (lift produced by the wings) PLUS (any vertical component of thrust due to a positive angle of attack) is equal to the airplane's weight (gravitational force on it).

When you turn a screwdriver Is the result an increase in force or an increase in distance?

Both force and distance increase. You have to use force to turn the screw from point A to point B.

Where is the rudder in the airplane?

A rudder is a primary control surface used to steer a ship, boat, submarine, hovercraft, aircraft, or other conveyance that moves through a fluid medium (generally air or water). On an aircraft the rudder is used primarily to counter adverse yaw and p-factor and is not the primary control used to turn the airplane.

What do elevators do on an airplane?

the elevators on an airplane is used to change the airplane's pitch. The pitch of an airplane is what makes the airplane go up and down without turning, if you turn, that would become roll.
