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.

What would cause a drop in speed while going uphill if the transmission has slipped before?

A drop in speed while going uphill is normal for most vehicles. If the speed is more than 20 mph slower than when first ascending the hill, there could still be a problem with the transmission or an oxygen sensor.

How fast is a 50 cc mini bike?

I would suppose it would matter if you were going uphill or downhill.


Why does a 1977 Ford F100 stall on acceleration and uphill driving?

I would check the point gap and timing first. If that does not correct it, I would check the carburetor float level.


What gear would you most likely use in the highway driving?

Once you have achieved highway speed, you would stay in the highest gear, except for steep uphill or downhill grades.


What causes 1992 gmc safari van to run bad and lose power going uphill?

Is the vehicles transmission downshifting to a lower gear as you go uphill? If not, that would be your first place to look. After that I would suspect that your engine timing is not autmatically advancing as it should be.


Why would a car overheat going up hill?

The engine works hard and produces a lot more heat than when the car is driven on a leveled road. The car is usually driven slower on the uphill and there isn't as much air cooling the radiator. But the main reason it overheats is that the cooling system is malfunctioning.

How long does it take to drive four miles in a car?

It really depends on how fast you're going. If you are driving slower, it would take you longer, and if you drive faster, then it won't take as long. Four minutes at 60 mph.

A car distance time graph is a straight line with a steep slope. How would you describe the car's speed?

If the slope is 'uphill' then the car is going faster


Why do you keep getting faster and faster when you ride a bike?

This question assumes that one does keep getting faster and faster when riding a bike. This might be true under some circumstances, but it is not a fact, it is not a universal truth.If one continually went faster and faster, then one would eventually reach the speed of light, and beyond! That just doesn't happen. So something must be wrong with the assumption implicit in the question.Consider: If you are going uphill, you might go slower and slower!If you are going downhill, the force of gravity will make you accelerate and go faster and faster.If you are on the level, and you cease pedalling, you will go slower and slower until you stop or fall off.So, if you find youself going faster and faster, you are probably going downhill. Either that, or someone has surreptitiously attached a jet engine to the back of your bike and you haven't noticed yet!
