It's called inertia, and basically means that stuff that's stationary will resist changing into stuff that's moving, and stuff that's moving will resist changing into stuff that's stationary. The car begins to move, but you're still - so the car will push at you with the backrest until you're moving together with the car.

Why do you move backwards when a car accelerates?

When a car accelerates, it pushes you back due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so as the car speeds up, your body wants to stay at rest causing you to move backward in relation to the direction of acceleration.


How does a speedometer needle move when a car is moving with constant velocity speeding up and slowing down?

When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle will remain steady and point to a consistent speed. When the car speeds up, the needle will move clockwise to reflect the increase in speed. Conversely, when the car slows down, the needle will move counterclockwise to indicate the decrease in speed.


Does fuel consumption decrease as car speeds up?

Why does my car jerk at high speeds?

A car that is jerking at high speeds probably needs a tune-up. Barring any major mechanical issue, this will solve the problem.


True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?

false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction


Why do you fall back when a car speeds up?

Because of g force and gravity


When things are heated up where do the molecules move?

They don't necessarily move to another place. However, the movement of the molecules INSIDE the object speeds up. (:

no


What does a car do when forces are unbalanced?

Why would car buck at high speeds?

Probably in need of a complete tune up.
