Can you produce a net impulse on an automobile by sitting inside and pushing on the dashboard?

No you cannot. This is because when you push on the dashboard (for every action there is an equal and opposite one) you are also pushing your back against the seat. Because they are connected, the two forces ( one forward and one backward) cancel each other out to make zero net force and the car will not move.

Is pushing something until it stops a balanced or un balanced force?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.
What is a zone where rock surfaces are pushing together?
We see tectonic plates pushing together in what is called a convergent plate boundary.
What is it called when magnets push apart?
the pushing apart of magnets is known as repulsion as they are pushing away from each other. The opposite to this is attraction
When pushing a coin on a surface does that create friction?
Yes. Friction is the resistance between an object and the surface in which it is. When pushing the coin, an opposite force is pushing it the other way, because the forcce you apply to the coin is greater it moves but that doesn´t mean there is no friction.
What is where air is pushing down with more pressure?
atmosphere
How can a force produce motion on a bicycle?
Pushing down on the pedal will cause the bike to move forward.
How do you adjust the dashboard lights on a 1993 Mercedes Benz 300E?
this is sooo easy.use the trip odmomiter knob but instead pushing it to reset to "0" turn it either to adjust lights
How do you dim the dashboard lights on a 2004 Toyota Sienna?
If you know where to change the odometer/tripmeter display... Instead of pushing that control, turn it counter-/clockwise to dim/brighten the dash lights.
What does it take to produce one watt of power?
Pushing against a 1 Newton force over a 1-metre distance.
How can wind and flowing water produce electricity?
It may be used in many ways such as pushing a paddle that turns and produces energy.
Do super hero's violates the law of impulse and momentum?
Quite often, it looks like they do. If Superman suddenly starts moving, without pushing himself off... well, that wouldn't work in real life, no matter how strong he is.
How does motion through fluids produce friction?
Friction is the result of materials pushing against each other. Liquids are very dense so they produce greater friction. Also the fluid will want to maintain it direction or static position. So an object moving in any other direct ion will be pushing ( friction) against the fluid.
Is pushing something until it stops a balanced or un balanced force?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.
How would the first law of motion describe a car being pushed off something and accelerating downward?
first law deals with unforced bodies, pushing the car involves an impulse force, once off the cliff the force of gravity takes over , resulting in impulse force until it hits the ground f=m*a but a = velocity change/time, so: force * time/mass= velocity change
How do you reset gas gauges to gallons ...instead of liters... on a 1987 cadillac deville?
On my 1987 Fleetwood, there is a button on the dashboard labeled E/M. Pushing this button changes the readings from English to metric and back. Hopefully there is a similar button on your vehicle.
How do you produce electricity from magnetism?
One way you can produce electricity is by using a U shaped magnet and pushing a metal string in the U shaped magnet!You use a galvanometer attached to the string and when you push it, it will become electrical energy! (A galvanometer measures electricity.)
How can the trumpet produce sound and how does the pitch change?
Trumpets produce sounds by buzzing your lips into a mouthpiece connected to the trumpet. the faster you buzz your lips, the higher pitch the sound, the slower, the lower. the pitch can also change by pushing down the valves in different combonations
