A cars weight affects its speed by varying its momentum. If the car has more weight, it has more momentum. With more momentum comes more inertia.(definition: inertia- an objects resistance to change in direction or movement) If the car has a lot of weight, it will speed up slower and stop slower because the cars inertia and momentum keep propelling it forward. If a car has less weight, it will speed up faster and stop faster because the momentum of the car is less than that of the heavier car. A: It is called the power to weight ratio.

If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy Why?
Kinetic energy equals mass times velocity squared. Since the velocities are the same, they cancel out. Then kinetic energy is dependent on the mass of the 2 objects. Since the truck has more mass, it will have more kinetic energy.
When a car travels from point A to point B the speed of the car varies along the way what is the total distance traveled by the car divided by the total time traveled by the car?
Speed
Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
What two things effect the magnitude of gravity?
Mass & distance.
Why would a passing race car display more Doppler effect than a passing police siren?
The amount of Doppler shift depends on speed - the faster vehicle will show more Doppler shift.
How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?
The mass of a car affects its speed down a ramp by influencing its inertia and gravitational force. A heavier car will accelerate slower than a lighter car due to its greater resistance to change in motion caused by its mass. However, once in motion, both cars will experience the same acceleration due to gravity down the ramp.
How does mass effect the distance and speed of a balloon car?
The mass of a balloon car affects the distance it can travel and the speed it can achieve. A heavier balloon car will typically have more inertia, making it harder to accelerate and affecting the distance it can travel. Conversely, a lighter balloon car will accelerate more easily and cover a greater distance due to less inertia.
What is a car's weight times its speed equals its?
mass
How does mass affect the speed of a car?
Well i know a lot about mass. MASS is how big and heavy the car is when running so if your car is very wide then mass will have a affect on it more than if it was a smaller car.The person who answered this oviously didnt know a lot about mass and didnt even answer the ques. A big car will be tougher to run because of the air resistance.
How does the mass of a pendulum effect the speed it goes?
The mass of a pendulum does not affect its speed. The speed at which a pendulum swings is determined by its length and the acceleration due to gravity. A heavier pendulum will have more inertia, which means it requires more force to set it in motion, but once it is in motion, its speed will be the same regardless of its mass.
What has a greater effect on an objects kinetic energy doubling its mass or doubling it's speed?
Doubling the speed of an object has a greater effect on its kinetic energy than doubling its mass. The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its speed, but only linearly related to its mass. Therefore, an increase in speed will have a greater impact on the object's kinetic energy.
A truck and a car are traveling down the highway at the same speed If the truck has a greater mass than the car how do their kinetic energies compare?
The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and speed. Since the truck has a greater mass than the car but they are traveling at the same speed, the truck will have more kinetic energy than the car.
Will paint effect the speed of a car?
Not as much as the shape of the car but different finishes do affect drag.
Does the weights effect the speed of box car?
They could: it depends on where they are placed.
A change in a objects speed has a what effect on its kinetic energy than a change in mass?
A change in an object's speed has a greater effect on its kinetic energy than a change in mass. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity, so even a small change in speed can result in a significant change in kinetic energy. On the other hand, mass only affects kinetic energy linearly.
What does weight and mass have an effect of speed and why?
Weight is proportional to mass. The greater the mass (or weight) the more force it takes to move it, thus the greater the mass the slower it moves when the same force is applied.Imagine you push a matchbook car on a table top, you can move it easily and fairly fast. Now apply that same force to a car that has the brake off and is out of gear -- the car probably won't move but if it does it will move very slowly.
Will the size of a toy car effect the speed of it?
Yes it will affect the speed of the toy car. Example: A buggy is easier to push without any groceries in it.
