What keeps the dragsters from flying off the track?

Dragsters have downforce generated by wings and spoiler designs to help keep them grounded at high speeds. Additionally, the weight distribution of the car and the tires' grip on the track play a key role in preventing the dragster from flying off the track. The dragster's suspension system also helps absorb bumps and keep the car stable.


How do top fuel dragsters work?

Very basically they have internal combustion engines just like a family car. The fun of course is in the differences! The road car needs to go steadily and use as little fuel as possible. The top car's aim is to burn fuel as fast as possible to deliver that short but intense burst of speed. One of the main ways it does this is to burn a very different fuel, nitromethane mixed with a little methanol.


How fast do waves, such as sound waves or ocean waves, travel?

Waves, like sound waves and ocean waves, travel at different speeds depending on the medium they are traveling through. Sound waves travel at about 343 meters per second in air, while ocean waves can travel at speeds ranging from 1 to 60 kilometers per hour.


How fast does a Nuclear Warhead of Russia travel?

A nuclear warhead launched from Russia can travel at speeds of up to 15,000 miles per hour or more, depending on the specific type of ballistic missile used. These missiles are designed to travel at hypersonic speeds to reach their target quickly and with minimal chance of interception.

Are heavier dragsters just as fast as lighter dragsters?

The lighter the dragster is for its horsepower, the faster it will go. This is why the front frames and tires are so relatively flimsy.
