What does a 4wd car mean?
4wd stands for four-wheel-drive. This means that power from the engine can be applied to all four wheels of the car rather than just two of them.
Does a car usually have an odd or even numbers of tires?
even dude gosh
Is the momentum of a large bus greater than less than that of a small car traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is a function of velocity and mass, therefore, assuming a "large" bus has more mass than a "small" car the bus would have more momentum since the velocities are the same.
How are cars related to math?
Wheels have rpm's (rotation per minute) and you can calculate that by using the circumference formula to find the total length around the wheel. If you have a specific distance you want to cover, divide that distance by the circumference to find the RPM. Or if tires have a maximum capacity it can hold, you'd have to calculate the total weight of the car and compare it to the all four or 6 of the tire's maximum capacity to see if the tires can adequately hold and support the car.
What could cause the driver's front tire to stick out farther than the other by approximately a half inch making the car bounce at high speeds?
Check the air pressure in all tires.
Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?
Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.
Why is the use of six tires instead of four in truck?
b/c there is too much weight than a car, and the four wheels can not bear the weight of a truck that is why there is six tires in truck
Are SUV tires more expensive than car tires?
SUV tires do cost more than car tires. There is more material used in the bigger SUV tires. Keep an eye out in the newspaper, sometimes you can find a sale on tires at places like Big O Tires.
If car 1 has a greater inertia than car 2 then car 1 has?
has a greater mass than car 2
Are ridged car tires better than smooth car tires?
If you want traction you need the tread. Smooth tires are only used for racing.
What is the weight of car tires?
There is no correct answer to your question I have picked up car tires weighing less than 6 pounds and more than 30 pounds.
Would you tire pressure be greater at the beginning or end of a long car trip?
Greater as tire pressure raises as you drive and tires get hot.
Things that come in groups of four?
Four-leaf clovers, seasons, sides of a square, tires on a car.
What cars are the best types to drive in winter conditions in Colorado?
First you will want to make sure it is something with four-wheel-drive. After that, it is more about the tires than the car. With bad tires, even a truck will slide around. Get good tires first and foremost.
What is the difference from a moving car and a stationary car?
speed! a moving car is having a force greater than the friction of the tires/air (and gravity on a steep upward hill) applied to it, and is moving forward. The force can come from the engine, or external forces.
Is it ok to run p215 tires on the front of a car and p225 tires on the back of a car?
If It's not a four wheel or all wheel drive and they don't rub, it's ok. Four wheel or all wheel will really get messed up if you do this
Why does it take a car longer to stop on ice?
This is due to friction. Friction acts between the car tires and the surface. On a normal road the friction would be greater than on ice.
