Depends on what you are looking for. To move a car from its parking space, its overall inertia will have to be overcome. In-case inertia is a new term for you,it is the tendency of a body to remain in a state of rest or in a state of motion unless and until it is acted upon by an EXTERNAL UNBALANCED FORCE.Now that we have got our car moving,it is the chemical energy in the petrol or any other fuel that gets converted to heat energy on burning ,which is then converted into mechanical energy in the engine. The mechanical energy of the engine is then converted into kinetic energy, thus moving the car. At the signal, when you want to bring the car into a state of rest, brakes i.e the principal of friction is used to stop the car.The friction counteracts the inertia of motion thus bringing the car to a stop. The cycle is then repeated.

Is a driving force contact or non contact?

A driving force can be both contact and non-contact. For example, a contact driving force could be the friction between a car's tires and the road that allows it to move forward. A non-contact driving force could be the gravitational pull of the Earth that keeps a satellite in orbit.


What can you do to stop your car from shaking while driving?

This will depend upon the type of car you have, the type of shaking and what is causing the shaking. The solution may be anything from tightening a bolt to stop driving the car because it is dangerous.


Why is there a bigger driving force in a car?

The bigger driving force in a car is primarily due to the engine's power output, which is measured in horsepower or torque. A more powerful engine can generate greater force to overcome inertia and friction, allowing the car to accelerate faster and maintain higher speeds. Additionally, factors such as gear ratios and weight distribution also contribute to the effective utilization of that power, enhancing the overall driving force experienced by the vehicle.
