Why is it more difficult to push a stalled car from rest than to keep it in motion one it has started to run?

Newton's law of motion.


Why is more difficult to push a stalled car from rest than to keep it in motion once it has started to run?

Inertia. When you first start to push the vehicle you need to overcome the inertis of the vehicle and provide it with Kinetic energy. Once the vehicle is moving, i.e has kinetic energy, then to keep a constant speed on a level surface you only need to push to replace the energy lost through friction, drag, and other energy losses


Why is it more difficult to push a stalled car from rest to keep it in motion once it has started to run?

Force = mass X acceleration. When you start pushing a stationary 'dead weight' you are making it go faster than it was or accelerating it. Once the car is moving at a steady speed, it is no longer being accelerated. The greater the mass or inertia of an object the more it will resist changes in its motion. (See Newton's Laws of Motion.)


Why is it difficult to push a stalled car from rest than to keep it in motion once it has started to run?

You have to overcome the inertia to move anything from a standstill Yes, That's Newton's Law of Motion: An object not in motion will remain not in motion until acted upon by a outside force, and an object in motion will continue to remain in motion until acted upon by an outside force....that's why it will roll a little bit on a level surface after you push it until acted upon by gravity to stop it. Ammendum. Those are not Sir Issac Newtons exact words, I pulled that from memory but it's something like that. The end meaning the same


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.


Does an LSD for a front axle make steering more difficult?

An LSD addition for a car will not make steering more difficult. Instead it improves it drastically as it adds more traction for the car.


Is inertia the property of matter that makes it difficult to push a stopped car?

Yes, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. In the case of pushing a stopped car, the car's inertia is what makes it difficult to overcome the initial resistance and set it in motion.


How do car amps work?

Hi, Amps are electrical and the same in a car as elswhere. Amps are a quantity of electricity, voltage is the pressure pushing it and resistance is, as it sounds, how difficult it is to push it. Peace, crigby


How do you remove back seat of 1969 Lincoln mark 111?

I have done it once and found it to be a little difficult. Push the front of the seat down and toward the back of the car, pull up a bit and then forward. Be careful not to catch the seat on the arm rest's they can rip the leather. I ripped mine.
