Depends on what you are looking for. To move a car from its parking space, its overall inertia will have to be overcome. In-case inertia is a new term for you,it is the tendency of a body to remain in a state of rest or in a state of motion unless and until it is acted upon by an EXTERNAL UNBALANCED FORCE.Now that we have got our car moving,it is the chemical energy in the petrol or any other fuel that gets converted to heat energy on burning ,which is then converted into mechanical energy in the engine. The mechanical energy of the engine is then converted into kinetic energy, thus moving the car. At the signal, when you want to bring the car into a state of rest, brakes i.e the principal of friction is used to stop the car.The friction counteracts the inertia of motion thus bringing the car to a stop. The cycle is then repeated.

What force is used to slow down a car?
the force that is used shall be gravity .
What type of energy does a car driving on a flat road have?
Mechanical energy.
When you are driving in a car and turn a corner centrifugal force pushes you toward the door of the car opposite the direction of the turn?
It is false. It is centripetal force that pushes you towards the door of the car opposite the direction of the turn.
Is a car driving up a hill in projectile motion?
No. The car is applying a force to keep going up the hill and the hill and car are providing forces to keep it up.

contact.
How is force of friction useful?
driving a car
What is the most significant force of friction?

What muscles are used when driving a car?
Both arm and leg muscles are being used when driving a car.
Where do you find a contact push force?
On a freeway because driving a car is a contact push force.
What forces are there on a car?
gravity, friction, driving force and wind resistance..
What is meant by the term driving forces?
driving force is the opposite force against (air resistance, friction, drag, tension) it is the force provided by some kinda potential, A car engine provides driving force or in fact any kinda force to keep the object moving
When you're driving in a car and turn a corner, centripetal force from the door of the car helps you move along the circular path of the corner?
When you're driving in a car and turn a corner, centripetal force from the door of the car helps you move along the circular path of the corner.
What can you do to stop your car from shaking while driving?
This will depend upon the type of car you have, the type of shaking and what is causing the shaking. The solution may be anything from tightening a bolt to stop driving the car because it is dangerous.

It depends on the type of car you are driving.
When you are driving in a car and turn a corner centripetal force pushes?
... you inward toward the center of the turn.
What provides the centripetal force for a car driving on a circular track?
The road, pushing against the tyres.
