A car usually remains stationary, when parked, as the hand-brake has been put on.

∙ 6y agoIn terms of physics, it will remain stationary if any frictional force is larger than any force that tends to move it (such as when the car is parked on a slight slope).

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?
It stays the same
A 1250 kg car is moving down the street with a velocity of 32.0 m/s bumps into a parked car ahead of it which has a mass of 875 kg. the parked car moves away with velocity of 6 m/s?
Relocation
Why is friction greatest when an object is stationary?
Because the frictional force must be greater than forces that would cause the object to move. Example: a car parked on a slope does not move despite the force of gravity acting to pull it down the hill. Why? Because the frictional forces are greater than the forces of gravity.
What happens to the potential energy of a car parked at the top of the hill if you double the mass of the car?
The potential energy will double too.
Is motion always observed from some stationary or relative position?
Motion is always relative to something. There's no such thing as really "stationary."Stationary only means that the motion of the observed object matches the observer's motion. Example: Reading the book that lies 'stationary' in your lap while you're in a car or on a passenger jet.
Is The weight of the vehicle on the road surface is the reason that your car remains stationary when parked even on a steep hill?
Friction of the tires on the road surface ( I think so)
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.
Why does your car stay stationary when parked?
The hand brake is on.
When backing out of a driveway with a parked car directly opposite the driveway on a two lane road who is responsible if the car that is backing up hits the parked car?
The car in motion is ALWAYS at fault when it hits a stationary vehicle.
What part of speech is the word stationary?
The word "stationary" is an adjective. It describes something that is not moving or fixed in one place.
What may not be considered a good stationary object when applying the two second rule parked car or an animal or bridge or tree?
Animal
A car backed out and hit my car. I was not in the car but she is claiming i was parked in an illegal spot?
I hope you got a police report. In any case, whether or not you were parked legally is not relevant. A driver is responsible for damages caused when hitting any stationary object... like a parked car. Just offer to take her to small claims court, or contact a lawyer. Most lawyers would just consider that one fun.
Who is liable in a rear end collision if the car that was rear ended was parked?
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
What is the common reason for car is missing and stopped when it is slow or parked?
Probably in need of a tune up.
Who is at fault if I back into a car parked CROOKED and wrong?
Yup, you guessed it! You You are responsible for "a moving violation" because you were moving and the 'parked car' was stationary. Irregardless of the day, time of day, the moon cycles, astrological signs, sun spots, acts of deity's, the paranormal, fate, karma, etc...
If a Car rolls into a car parked in a disabled spot?
The car that rolled into the parked car is at fault.
Who be be at fault if you hit an illegally parked car in Atlanta even if the illegally parked car was in a blind spot and the space where the car was parked illegally was too close for comfront?
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
