If no gravity or air existed the car would never have been invented. It will not work in the absence of either.

Would a parachute work in no gravity and why?

Yes it would work. But there would be nothing for it to work against, because there is no gravitational force.If there was no gravity and some other force working on the parachute, such us it being pulled behind a car, then if there was air or another fluid present, then there would be drag, just as in a gravity environment.


How does gravity impact a balloon powered car?

Gravity affects a balloon-powered car by providing the force needed to overcome friction and air resistance, allowing the car to move forward. When the balloon is inflated and the car is released, the potential energy stored in the balloon is converted into kinetic energy as the escaping air propels the car forward.


What is the weight of a 870 kg car with the presence of gravity?

The weight of a 870 kg car in the presence of gravity would be the mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, with a gravity of approximately 9.81 m/s^2, the weight of the car would be 870 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 8538.7 N.


If a car were being moved sideways could you determine the force on the car using the weight equation?

No, the weight equation (weight = mass x gravity) only calculates the force due to gravity acting on an object vertically. To determine the force on a car being moved sideways, you would need to consider additional forces such as friction, air resistance, and the force applied to move the car.


If a car is not moving what forces are acting on it?

When a car is not moving, the main forces acting on it are gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from the ground pushing upward to support the car's weight. There may also be frictional forces between the tires and the road, as well as air resistance acting on the car.

What forces act on a mousetrap car?

friction, air resistance and gravity


How does gravity affect a Nascar race car?

Without gravity, and friction the race car would be flying everywhere and would slide off of the track.


Would rear wheel drive twenty inch rims fit on a 1995 Ford Taurus?

You might have to do a body lift for these wheels to fit in the wheel wells of the car. And what will happen to the "center of gravity" of the car ?


Where can one view a video about an air hog zero gravity car?

The most comprehensive site on the internet for viewing videos would have to be youtube. Simply visiting the site and typing into the search function, 'air hog zero gravity car' will bring you lots of results. The results cover reviews, demonstrations and advice on using it.


What foreces act on a car that is speeding up?

Friction, air resistance, momentum, gravity.

What would happen if gravity was taken away?

The weight of a body depends on gravity(W=mg).Gravity gives us resistance against universal forces eg wind, which made building of house, driving of car, walking, flowing of water, droping of rain etc.

Does the moon have enough gravity to hold a modern car?

Yes, the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, which is enough to hold a modern car. However, the weight of the car would be significantly reduced on the moon compared to Earth.

What happen if you don't turn off air suspension when changing a tire?

Nothing, if you lift the car up properly with a jack. There would be no weight on the tire; therefore, the air suspension wouldn't do anything.
