It's not hard but you may soil your shirt. I once rolled a full-size 1993 Bronco packed with gear out of an arroyo. I was desperate. I started by pushing the drivers-side door and steering wheel but it began to roll backwards. I then tried running to the back bumper and pushing it from behind (probably dumb), but I could barely keep it in place and it cost me about 3 meters. I don t know why, but then I tried grabbing the drivers-side front tire. I rolled nearly 7000 pounds up a slope and saved my dog and I a cold night stranded in the desert. I then coasted down the bajada with no Power Steering or brakes listening to "The Cave" until I reached the highway, but that's a different story. Turned out one of the fuel pumps failed.

Is a car driving up a hill in projectile motion?

No, a car driving up a hill is not considered projectile motion. Projectile motion involves an object being projected into the air and moving in a curved path under the influence of gravity, while the car driving up a hill is following a linear path on the hill's surface.


Why a greater force is needed to push a car up a ramp?

When pushing a car up a ramp, gravity is pulling the car back down the incline. To counteract this gravitational force and move the car upwards, a greater force is needed to overcome the resistance caused by gravity. This is why a greater force is required to push a car up a ramp compared to on a flat surface.


What are the physics principles involved when a car goes over a hill?

When a car goes over a hill, the physics principles involved include potential energy, kinetic energy, and centripetal force. As the car goes up the hill, potential energy increases due to its height. At the top of the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car accelerates downward. Centripetal force keeps the car moving in a curved path as it goes over the hill.


A car coasts up a hill. As it climbs it slows down. Which type of energy is the car losing as it goes up?

The car is losing kinetic energy as it climbs the hill. This kinetic energy is being transferred into potential energy due to the increasing height gained during the climb.


Is a car being driven up a hill and being parked kinetic energy changing to potential energy?

Yes, as the car is driven up the hill, its kinetic energy is transforming into potential energy as it gains height. Once the car is parked at the top of the hill, it has maximum potential energy and minimal kinetic energy.

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).

After running out of gas three people push their 700 kg car up a hill at an angle of 10o from the horizontal What force do they have to apply to maintain a constant velocity up the hill?

haha alot. they should save their energy and walk to the nearest gas station


Why would a car be going slower driving uphill?

Gravity is trying to push the car down the hill. It takes more power to overcome that push of gravity. Unless you give the car more gas it will slow down.
