What factor causes the motion of a car slow down as it moves up mountain?

Gravity.


What factor causes the motion of a car to slow down as it is moving up the slope of a mountain?

In that case, the car will slow down due both to gravity pulling it backward, and to friction forces.


What does unbalanced forces do to a car?

The same as they do to any other object.


What forces are on a braking car?

When a car begins to brake, the car is affected by many different forces. These include:Friction - When the brake pedal is pressed, the car's wheels act against the road, causing friction to slow down the carGravity - When driving, gravity is pulling the car down, therefore pressing the car against the ground, making us slow down slightlyAir resistance - When any object goes through air particles, they are slowed down slightly because of the extra force required to push past.


Motor revs but car car moves very slow?

It's probably the clutch.


Are mammals slow-moving?

Not necessarily. A tree sloth moves slower than a slow, slow walk while a cheetah can run as fast as 60 miles per hour. That's as fast as your car moves while driving down the highway. Most mammals are somewhat fast moving.


A race car travels along a raceway at a constant velocity of 200 kmh what horizontal forces act and what is the net force acting on the car?

Drag forces are trying to slow the car down. Engine power to the wheels generates force that equals the drag, and keeps the car travelling at a constant speed. The sum of all forces on the car are zero, which is why it is not accelerating or decelerating.


What part of a car slows it down?

"Brakes" make the whole car slow down.
