going down hill, cruise control, a strong wind, getting rear ended by someone whos going twice as fast.
The steering wheel can change the car's direction of motion, without changing speed.
The velocity of a car can change by increasing its speed, such as accelerating when pressing the gas pedal, or by decreasing its speed, such as decelerating when applying the brakes.
Upon pressing the accelerator pedal, the fuel/air mixture supplied to the engine increases, which results in a larger explosion and more power, thus propelling the vehicle at a faster speed
A car will move when the gas pedal is engaged. You can control the speed of the car by the pressure you put on the gas pedal. The brake pedal will either slow the car down or stop the car entirely.
You can accelerate without speeding up by increasing the rate at which you're changing your speed rather than increasing your overall speed. This can be achieved by pressing down on the gas pedal more slowly but steadily, or using techniques like downshifting in a manual transmission car. The aim is to maximize the vehicle's acceleration while maintaining a steady speed.
You could be very low on oil, check your oil and add to the full line.
This is a stupid question. i own a diesel vehicle and it has cruise control as it is a 2008 model. it also has an accelerator pedal which u control by pressing with your foot
The ability to change the speed or direction of a vehicle is controlled by the accelerator and brake pedals, as well as the steering wheel. Increasing pressure on the accelerator pedal speeds up the vehicle, while pressing the brake pedal slows it down. Turning the steering wheel changes the direction of the vehicle.
To reset the speed limit on a 1997 Range Rover, first, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Press the "Set" button on the cruise control stalk while simultaneously pressing the brake pedal. This action should clear the previously set speed limit. If the speed limit continues to display, consult the vehicle's manual for specific instructions or troubleshooting.
It is called the accelerator pedal, aka the gas pedal.
The brake pedal and the accelerator pedal can cause a change in speed.
When you push down on the cars accelerator, you are not always 'accelerating'. Sometimes, you are just pushing down to maintain a constant speed, because the engine wants to slow your motion down, that and the friction of your tyres on the road. Acceleration requires a rate of increase or decrease of speed. Hence the name 'accelerator' is misleading if your speed is not changing.
