It doesn't unless it is a gravity car(a car without a motor). Weight is the enemy ,when it comes to fast acceleration, for engine driven cars.

Does a heavier balloon car go faster?

No, a heavier balloon car does not go faster. The speed of the balloon car is determined by the amount of force produced by the balloon pushing the car forward, not by its weight. In fact, a lighter balloon car may actually travel faster because there is less mass to accelerate.


Will the mass of a toy car affect the car's speed?

The mass of a toy car will affect its speed. A lighter car will accelerate faster than a heavier car, assuming all other factors (such as the force applied) are constant. However, once in motion, a heavier car may maintain its speed better due to its inertia.


Why does a heavy toy car go faster than a lighter toy car and get acorss a jump?

A heavier toy car is better to go down a ramp and make a jump better than a light car because the heavier the toy car is, the faster gravity will force it to roll down the ramp, and with all its speed, be able to make the jump. Of course, you wouldn't want to make the toy car so heavy so that it barely or doesn't move at all. Just like drops of water when it's raining outside and a few drops hit your window. The heavier drops drip off faster than the smaller ones, and that goes the same with cars, too.


Does the weight of a toy car affect its speed?

It depends on a lot of factors. The classic question which will fall faster, an apple or a bowling ball comes to mind. When you are talking about a car, it is no longer vertical and not directly correlated to the pull of gravity. If both have identical components, and going downhill, the heavier car will have more momentum behind it (Potential Energy). Along the flat, the heavier car will have more friction. Uphill, the heavier car will have a bigger energy difference, and more energy (more work) will be required to make it go up the hill. In short, the heavier car will win going downhill, that's it. And it will hurt more when it hits.


How come heavier things go faster than lighter things?

In most cases, heavier things do not necessarily go faster than lighter things. The speed at which an object moves is typically determined by factors such as the force applied to it, the surface it is moving on, and air resistance. In some cases, heavier objects may have more momentum and be more difficult to stop once in motion, which can give the impression that they are moving faster.

Why your car revs but do not go faster?

Mine does the same. its because its a heavier vehicle with a small engine like a V6


Does a heavier toy car go faster than a lighter toy car?

If there's a slope down the faster one would be the heavy one. On a flat surface with no slope, the light one may start off much quicker; Although, the lighter one has a higher chance of flipping over.

Why will go down the ramp faster a light object or a heavier one?

a lighter one because it doesn't take long for it to get going but, if you wanna know which one will go farther it would be the heavier one because it has more momentum.


Does a car go faster or slower down a ramp?

Generally, the car should go faster.

Is sonic faster then a grizzly bear?

Of course sonic is faster. Sonic can travel up to the spped of light and faster. A bear can only go 40 MPH. a car can go faster than it. Sonic the Hedgehog is by far the fastest thing alive.


Is it possible to make a CO2 dragster car too light?

Yes it is, but the car will still go faster but it will end up breaking if you're not careful.
