The force that causes your car to move forward is primarily generated by the engine, which produces power that turns the wheels. This power is transmitted through the drivetrain, creating traction between the tires and the road surface. The friction between the tires and the road allows the car to accelerate and maintain motion. Additionally, Newton's third law of motion indicates that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which helps propel the car forward.
What else can I help you with?
When you get into a car accident what causes you to move forward with the car?
inertia
What example of an unbalanced force?
A wall and a people
Why does a book continue to move forward when a car stops?
The book is experiencing inertia; a state which resists change in motion. This is represented by Newton's first law of motion which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore the book in the car continues to move forward until it is acting on by an external force such as the applied force of something in the book's path of motion.
What causes the forward force on a car?
The forward force on a car is caused by the engine applying power to the wheels, which creates friction between the tires and the road surface. This friction allows the wheels to push against the road and propel the car forward.
A boy pushes on a parked car with a force of 200 N The car does not move How much work does the boy do on the car?
Since the car does not move, the boy does no work on the car. Work is only done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
How friction is useful in pushing a car?
If you are behind a car, about to push it forward from a resting position, you will need to exert a force on the car to accelerate it from resting position. While you are pushing against the car, however, there will be a reaction force pushing back at you. In order to produce a large net force against the car without being pushed backward yourself, you need to increase the friction of your feet against the ground...so that the frictional force between your feet and the ground prevents you from sliding backward. The combinations of the frictional force and your force pushing forward against the car will cause the car to move forward. The frictional force of the car being moved from resting position also has to be overcome, of course.
Some people say that the force of inertia throws the passengers forward when when the a car brakes sharply What is wrong with this explanation?
There is no such thing as "force of inertia". The passengers are thrown forward, maintaining their initial motion. This is an application of Newton's First Law, which states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon a force. The force of the car brake is acted upon the car and not on the passengers. This is why the passengers continue to move forward for a second when the car stops.
When a car makes a sharp left turn what causes the passenger to move toward the right side of the car?
centrifugal force
If you were in a bumper car that stops when it hit another car would you continue to move forward Why or why not?
No, I would not continue to move forward if the bumper car stops upon hitting another car. The design of the bumper car is such that it comes to a halt upon impact, preventing any forward motion. Additionally, the laws of physics dictate that once the car stops, inertia would not carry it forward unless an external force acted upon it.
If a car is traveling on the highway at a constant velocity the force that pushes the car forward must be?
1. force that moves a car forward is the friction force between the tires and the road (ignoring what is going on mechanically in the car) 2. if the car is travelling at constant velocity, net force is zero - forces pushing car forward are equal to forces pushing car back
How does friction help when i push a broken car?
Friction between the tires and the road helps transfer the force you apply to the car, allowing it to move forward. Without friction, the tires would just spin in place and the car wouldn't move.
When a driver applies brakes quickly what best explains why a book on the seat keep moving forward?
When a driver applies the brakes quickly, inertia causes the book to continue moving forward momentarily before friction and the force of deceleration from the car's brakes eventually bring it to a stop. The sudden stoppage of the car transfers inertia to the book, causing it to move forward until external forces act upon it.
