What does the shape of a car have to do with the amount of gas it uses?
aerodynamics. a car can save A LOT on gas if it has good aerodynamics.
How do aerodynamics affect car design?
The faster the car goes the thicker the eir gets, to cut/drive throught this thick air the car needs good aerodynamics. Ao aerodynamics are very important.
How does aerodynamics affect the speed of a car?
It changes the air resistance of the car - which is the controlling factor of top-speed.
How does the model of a car affect its speed?
Aerodynamics, weight of the car, horsepower of the engine, are all factors in the speed the car can travel.
What factors will affect the performance of a CO2 car?
Aerodynamics of the car, the size of the wheels, the weight of the car, and the size of the CO2 cartridge.
Automotive aerodynamics differ from aircraft aerodynamics?
from my point of view automotive aerodynamics deals with the air flow on the surface if the car and calculations of drag on its body. While aircraft aerodynamics deals with the Lift and Drag calculations of the aircraft during the flow of air on its body.
Does a design of a car affect the speed?
The weight, aerodynamics, horse power and gear ratios all affect the speed of an automobile.
How does the design of a car affect its fuel efficeny?
The biggest part is aerodynamics, in my non-engineering experience. The better the aerodynamics, the better the fuel efficiency. There are more factors to this like weight, gearing, etc.
What things affect the speed of a car?
Aerodynamics of the car, power of the engine, the dimensions of the tyres, ride height, road surface and even the quality of the fuel in the tank.
Most aerodynamic shape?
Many formula 1 racing car designers and aircraft designers have found the teardrop to be the most aerodynamic shapethe teardrop or raindrop is indeed the most aerodynamic shape at subsonic speeds.At supersonic speeds the so called "Sears-Haack body" has better aerodynamics.
How does aerodynamics affect horsepower?
aerodynamics affects a car due to the force of drag. as you drive the car, you excerpt a force in one direction. since the air is a fluid, is excerpts and equal and opposite force on the car. you can overcome this force by changing the shape of the car to allow the air to flow over it more smoothly, thus reducing the drag. its similar to dragging your hand through water. if you drag your hand with your palm perpendicular to the direction of motion, you'll experience more drag then if you dragged your hand with your palm parallel to the motion.
What is a catchy title for a science project about aerodynamics of a car?
Cutting Wind!Aerodynamics in the Fast Lane
