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.

How many newtons does a car going 30mph have?

The force of an object in motion, such as a car traveling at 30 mph, can be calculated using the formula Force = mass x acceleration. Without the mass of the car, we cannot determine the force in newtons.


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

The reaction force to the friction acting on the car is the friction force acting on the road. It acts on the car in the opposite direction to the friction force acting on the car.


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.


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.


How can you compare newtons second law to a race track?

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass. In a race track scenario, this can be seen with a car accelerating faster if a greater force is applied (such as pressing the gas pedal harder) and if its mass is smaller (lighter car). So, a race car's acceleration can be manipulated by adjusting the force and mass involved, similar to how Newton's second law describes.

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


How many newtons of force does it take to move a car?

The force required to move a car depends on various factors such as the weight of the car, road conditions, and incline. On average, it can take anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand newtons of force to move a car.

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.


How many grams does a car sunshade weigh?

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


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. ;)


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

Yes, even when a car is at rest, there are still forces acting on it. The two main forces are the force of gravity, pulling the car downward towards the ground, and the normal force exerted by the ground on the car to keep it stationary.


What forces are on a still car?

There are several forces acting on a still car: gravity pulling it downward, normal force pushing it upward, and frictional forces opposing motion on the ground.


Why forces acting on a car as it moves along a level highway in still air at a constant speed?

The main forces acting on a car moving at a constant speed on a level highway in still air are the driving force from the engine propelling the car forward and the opposing forces such as friction between the tires and the road and air resistance. When these forces are balanced, the car will continue to move at a constant speed.


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


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

The reaction force to the friction acting on the car is the friction force acting on the road. It acts on the car in the opposite direction to the friction force acting on the car.
