Gravity. The car is heavy and doesnt want to move, so you must excelerate to make the car go uphill. If a car is going downhill, the is no need to excelerate because gravity is pulling the car downhill.

Why would a car be going slower driving uphill?

Gravity is trying to push the car down the hill. It takes more power to overcome that push of gravity. Unless you give the car more gas it will slow down.


How Does the Slope Change Car's Speed?

The slope of a surface can affect a car's speed by influencing the force of gravity acting on the car. Going uphill will slow the car down as gravity works against the car's forward motion, while going downhill will speed the car up as gravity provides additional force in the direction of motion. Overall, steeper slopes will have a greater impact on the car's speed than gentle slopes.


Why is the stopping distance of a car traveling uphill is less than when it is traveling on a level road?

The stopping distance of a car traveling uphill can be less than on a level road due to gravity assisting in the deceleration process. When driving uphill, the incline can help slow down the car as it works against the forward momentum. This can lead to a shorter stopping distance compared to a level road where the car solely relies on its brakes to stop.

What is shifting to low gear in a car?

The CV joint being loose is one of the main causes for a car shaking while it is going uphill. However, a faulty AC and faulty engine could also be the problem.
