When a car moves along the highway at constant velocity the net force is zero why then do you continue to run your engine?
The key point is that the net force is zero. This is not the same as having zero force acting on it. The forces of drag and friction are always acting on moving objects, and the engine generates a force through the wheels that balances out this force, keeping you at a constant velocity. If the engine was stopped, this counterforce would no longer be in effect, and the unbalanced force of the drag would eventually slow the car to a stop.

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.
Where can I see a picture of a constant velocity joint?
You can search for images of constant velocity joints on the internet using a search engine or visit automotive parts websites for detailed pictures and diagrams. Additionally, you can check automotive repair manuals or guides for illustrations of constant velocity joints.
Is it possible for a car moving with a consonant velocity to have forces acting on it.describe?
Yes, frictional forces such as air, tires against the ground, gravity pulling the car down, force of engine moving car forward. The positive force of the engine turning the drive train and the wheels is equaled by the frictional forces; so overall forces balance out.
Can all forces of a car be balanced if it is moving a constant velocity?
Yes, if a car is moving at a constant velocity, all the forces acting on it are balanced. The forward force of the engine and the opposing forces such as air resistance and friction are all equal, resulting in a net force of zero and the car moving at a constant speed.
If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20meters per seconds what is the net external force acting on it?
If the car is moving at a constant velocity, the net external force acting on it is zero. This is because the forces acting on the car (such as friction and air resistance) are balanced by the force applied by the engine to maintain the constant speed and direction.

How late did GM continue to produce the 305 engine?
2003 for highway applications. It's still in production as a boat engine for Mercury Marine.

When velocity will be constant what will be the energy?
Kinetic energy will be constant, but total energy (KE+PE) might not be. If the car, say, is climbing a hill at a steady speed, its KE is constant, but the work done by the engine is being used to increase PE.

If a car is moving to the left with constant velocity are thera any forces acting on it?
When you say 'moving to the left' I presume you mean with a degree of left turn of the steering wheel rather than the car has turned into a left hand direction and is now moving straight ahead in the new direction. In which case, yes, there is force acting on it. Newton's first law dictates that there must be, otherwise it would not continue to change direction. The force comes from the ground which pushes against the tyres.
Driving along a road at a constant velocity of 100km h-1.the forces opposing the motion of the car total 800N. cars mass is 1200kg.what force do you need to maintain constant velocity?
It doesn't matter what the car's mass is, or for that matter, what speed you're talking about.If the total forces opposing its motion are 800 N, then you need to supply 800 N in the directionof motion in order to maintain a constant speed.
Where is the PCV valve located on a 1997 Civic?
Probably next to the oil filter UNDER the engine on drivers side ABOVE the constant velocity axle. You'll need a flashlight.
Will it hurt engine to drive in low on highway?
At highway speeds, YES!
