Affect of aerodynamics on speed of a car?
Ground effects term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce(downwards thrust created by the aerodynamic characteristics of a car. The purpose of downforce is to allow a car to travel faster through a corner by increasing the vertical force on the tires, thus creating more grip.),
Why do you think it is important to learn about forces?
its not important.
Why is the gas argon important?
It is not particularly important.
Vector important to maritime?
tor important to marine people
Why is the magnetic compass so important?
why was a magnetic compass so important
What is downforce?
Downforce refers to how strongly the air presses downward on a vehicle due to the sleekness and shape of the body. More downforce means more stability while driving and ultimately better handling.
What is down force and why is it important in F1 vehicles?
Downforce is provided to F1 racing vehicles with the obvious wings, and the less obvious shape of its underside. The additional tons of downforce are used to increase the traction of the tires, for both acceleration/braking and for turns, 'sticking' to the road.

What is down force and why is it important in f1 vehicle?
Downforce occurs when air flowing over something pushes it into the ground. An F1 car is very light so it is fast in a straight line and can be thrown into the corners but because it is so light the car will have very little grip in the corners. Downforce adds to the weight of the car with the force of air pushing it down. The new DRS (drag reduction system) on the cars stops downforce - which causes drag - in the long straights. When a front wing or another part of an F1 car that makes downforce comes off the car has less grip and this often leads to crashes. Overall, downforce is essential to keeping an F1 car on the track
What is The force on a given area by the weight of air above it?
Downforce
What are car spoilers for?
On a race car they help to provide downforce, helping the car stay on the track. On a normal vehicle traveling at highway speeds, they are mainly for looks, and provide very little downforce.
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of air above it is?
Downforce
How hard does piranha bite?
142KM/H downforce recorded speed
Could an Indy car run upsidedown with the downforce created by their design?
Theoretically yes. An IndyCar can make up to 5,000 lbs of downforce (at speed). The car weighs between 1500-1630 lbs.
Why did NASCAR change to the car of tomorrow?
its alot safer and creates more downforce
How much downforce does a V8 Supercar produce?
Claims of 788kg @ 303km/h were touted during the Bathurst broadcast.
What is the purpose of the aero foil behind the rear wheels of a top fuel dragster?
Increase downforce which improves traction.
