What gear would you most likely use in the highway driving?
Once you have achieved highway speed, you would stay in the highest gear, except for steep uphill or downhill grades.
When driving uphill what do gravitational forces do to your vehicle?
Going uphill, the vehicle engine is under stress while also being part of the weight holding the car back. In old cars pre-1970s, we often had to downshift into low to just maintain any amount of speed to get up a steep hill. Today's automatic engines do the auto shifting much easier than in older auto transmissions.
Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
it is both kinetic and potential energy
Why does a car a Blow smoke when accelerating uphill and b after driving downhill blow smoke when accelerating back uphill?
its getting ready to explode. jump out quick
When should a driver will use the 2?
Driver use gear 'L' or '2' when driving uphill or downhill which required higher gear ratio to move the uphill. Downhill wise, driver use '2' or 'L' for safety purpose. The low gear ratio will use the high gear ratio to slow down the speed of driving downhill and creating 'pulling' force on your car to safety purposes. Gear '2' can be use for overtaking on the highway too provided at the appropriate speed.
What is the best way to carry a load when driving on a ramp?
With a forklift, carry the load on the uphill side.
What causes a vehicle to not accelerate as quickly in the mountains?
because it is going uphill and the engine has to work harder?
What gear do I use when driving uphill with an automatic transmission?
You're driving an automatic, the car should select the correct gear for you. However some automatics allow the driver to select low gears for use in slow moving traffic for example. If you feel you need more power when driving uphill then select one of the lower gears.
How does gravity affect your driving with speed adjustment stopping adjustment and coasting when up and downhill?
Gravity adds a force (kgs) going downhill = sin (incline angle) * mass vehicle (kgs) and detracts the force when going uphill (same equation)
When meeting a vehicle in the narrow or mountain roadway should you give the right-of-way to the uphill traffic?
Type your answer here... true
If you are traveling on a one lane mountain road and encounter another vehicle and neither of you has room to pass who should yield and back up?
whichever vehicle was the one traveling uphill
Why does your vw jetta lose power while driving uphill?
If a Volkswagen Jetta loses power while driving uphill, one possible explanation is that the mass airflow sensor has gone bad. Another possibility is that the intake manifold could be clogged. The only way to know for sure what's wrong is to take the car to a mechanic.
