Why is coasting down hill bad?

Coasting requires you to put the gear into neutral and let the car freewheel down the hill. If you came to a bend on the hill and someone was speeding up the hill, you may not have enough time to react and slam on the brakes, or slow down. When you aren't in gear, you have less control of your car, as opposed to if you was in gear. E.g. If you were in gear and slammed on the brakes, your car would stall, jerk you forward and stop, however because you aren't in gear, your car won't stop rolling.(It's why you can push your car when it's out of gear, but you can't push it when it's in gear).


Why is the first gear best for climbing a steep hill?

The first gear is best for climbing a steep hill because it provides the most torque and power to overcome the resistance of the incline. This gear allows the engine to operate at a higher RPM, giving the vehicle greater pulling and pushing force to effectively climb the steep hill without stalling.


What is the best gear ratio for a bicycle climbing a hill?

It really depends on the incline of the hill, but the first is the number of teeth in the smallest chaining (front gears).The second is the number of teeth on the largest sprocket of the cassette (back gears ).You then divide one by the other to get the gear ratio A gear ratio of 1 means that when you turn the pedals one revolution the wheel will rotate once. A gear ratio of 2 means that for every half turn of the pedals the wheel will rotate once.The lower the gear ratio , the easier it is to climb the hill

How can I safely descend a steep hill in a vehicle without using engine braking?

To safely descend a steep hill in a vehicle without using engine braking, you can rely on your brakes. Use a lower gear to help control your speed and avoid overheating your brakes. Apply steady pressure on the brakes rather than riding them, and take breaks to let them cool down if needed. Be cautious and maintain a safe speed to prevent skidding or losing control.


When a car is on first gearthe rear wheels turn very slowlyexplain why this gear is best for climbing a steep hill?

Gears in a car change where the powerband (or Torque) are in the RPM range relative to what gear it's in. When a car is put into 1st gear, the "power" in the car is very very low in the RPM range and this is why a car is put into a low gear when climbing a hill or steep grade.


Can you make a sentence with the word neutral?

It is morally impossible to remain neutral in this conflict. Certainly. "During the Second World War, most people accept that Switzerland was neutral, even though they helped to fund the Nazi campaign." I'll do a second one, just so you catch the drift. "The car was stuck in neutral gear, and began rolling down the hill." Neutral: Verb. To do very little, or nothing.


In which gear should you drive when going down a steep hill?

Use a low gear. Which gear you should use depends on how steep a hill you are talking about and also how far down does the hill go. and are you using a standard or automatic transmission. Common sense should tell you to use a lower gear if the vehicle accelarates to much.
