Best Answer

Any object moving or stationary that is on the ground is subjected to a normal/reaction force upwards.

How do the passengers in moving car get inertia in the first place?

A passenger's first feel of inertial force in a moving car is a backwards jolt when a car starts moving. The force is more pronounced if the car takes off faster.


Compare the motion observed in ceiling fan and a car moving on the road?

Centrifugal force is observed in a ceiling fan. Thrust force is what moves a car moving on the road.


What is an example of force acting on a moving car?

Somebody pushing the car; friction slowing down the car; gravity acting on the car (this is especially relevant if the car is going up or down a slope); the engine pushing the car forwards.


Which forces are working when car moving in forward direction?

Frictional Force


What forces are acting on a still car and a car that is slowing down?

There are more than two forces acting on a moving car. The force of gravity keeps the car on the ground, and the normal force from the ground keeps the car from falling to the center of the earth. When the engine is running, it creates a torque which is transferred to the car's tires. Due to small and large cracks and crevices in the road and tires the two surfaces keep getting stuck together. The force must go somewhere, so the car is now applying a force on the road in the direction the wheels are rotating. Newton's 3rd law states that, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction," therefore the road also applies a force to the car. This force is called a frictional force. It is static friction if the car is moving, and the tires are not sliding; it is kinetic friction if the car is moving, but the tires are sliding. This frictional force is what propels the car and is greater as static friction. The last force acting on a moving car is the drag force or air resistance and it is caused by particles of air running into the car, slowing it down.

What is the difference from a moving car and a stationary car?

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.

What force keeps your car moving?

The force generated by the expansion of burning gasses, inside the combustion cylinders of a car powered by an internal combustion engine.
