Thrust can affect a car in two basic ways.

  • The cars drive train system creates thrust to push it down the road and the wheels can create thrust to change its direction, all basically the same thing based on the friction created by the tires and force applied by the car through them.
  • External thrust from wind and other factors like a crash. These forces try to push the car around by blowing or pushing the car.

Depends each component, but as it is still (or constant velocity) the net force is 0 newtons.

How many newtons does a car going 30mph have?

1000000


What does reaction force and action force look like?

Tough. An action force is normally the aggressor, acting first, with a clear owner (for example, a human, an animal, an engine, etc). The reaction force is normally passive (only acts when being forced to) and hidden (invisible), with no clear ownership. The reaction force can be created artificially to explain the situation. An example of a reaction force: an apple is sitting still on a table. We know the apple will fall if the table is not there. The action force will be the gravitational force. We can explain why the apple does not fall to the floor by 'assigning' an invisible force by the table that is equal and opposite to the gravitational force. Otherwise, Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws of motion would have been violated.


Everyday situation exhibit newton's first law of motion?

A good example is a car driving down the road. The car may be accelerating at 30km/s2 and have a mass of 1800 kg. Then the car runs into a wall. The force of the impact can then be calculated at 54,000 N (Newtons). Other examples include a punch, a running person, or a ball that is thrown.


How does newtons 1st law of motion act on the derby car?

An outside force, gravity, pulls the car down the ramp building up speed. At the bottom of the ramp law 1 kicks in. The car continues to move in a straight line.


If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?

friction is the reaction to motion

How many Newtons are needed to push a car?

car weight: 1300 kg - 13000 N tire-asphalt friction = 0,15cm Tire radius = 30cm F= 0.15*13000/30 = 6,5 N


What forces are acting on a still car?

on a still car the weight force is down, and is balanced with the reaction force (working upwards). friction of forward and balanced with drag - backwards. ;)


How many grams does a car sunshade weigh?

Weight is measured in Newtons, not grams - which is a measure of mass.


Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest xy?

There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.


Forces acting on a car when it is still?

It's weight and the reaction force from it's weight. Hope that helps!


How much does a 1500 kg car weigh on Earth in newtons?

On Earth, 1,500 kg of mass weighs 14,710 newtons.


Two cars accelerate at a rate of 3mps the mass of each car in kilograms is 1250 and 200 how many more newtons of force are needed to accelerate the car with the larger mass?

F=ma, Force=(mass)(Accleration), (3)(1250)-(3)(200)= 3,150 Newtons


What do you say if you're in the mood to correct the mistaken statement of a friend xy?

There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.


What is the weight of 1768.0 kg car?

It is 17,326.4 newtons or 3,898 lbs.


How much does a masarati car weigh?

The answer depends on which model. The Granturismo weighs approx 17660 newtons whereas the Levante goes up to 21630 newtons.


What is an example of force acting on a moving car?

Somebody pushing the car; friction slowing down the car; gravity acting on the car (this is especially relevant if the car is going up or down a slope); the engine pushing the car forwards.
