Why do people call a plane a plane?
Well that all depends on what you are asking about because "a plane" can be: A flat level surface A level of existence A flying vehicle (short for aeroplane) A carpenters tool A trowel A species of tree A wing
Why a building shakes?
Because it's cold! Because a large vehicle just went by. Because it is in an earthquake.
What is the affect of he tilt degree of a ramp on the speed of a toy car rolling down it?
Just like in the construction of Super Speedways for professional race car use, the incorporation of a tilted or banked turn allows the car to maintain higher speeds throughout the turns of the course. The forces that act upon a vehicle as it is turning at high speeds causes the car to experience a phenomenon known as under-steering, that is, the tendency of the vehicle to want to continue driving in a straight line instead of turning due to the forces acting upon the vehicle and the inability of tire traction to compensate for these forces. Race car drivers will have to use more braking to slow the car to acceptable speeds in order to establish enough traction to maneuver the turn on a flat track. However, if the track is banked, this will reduce the severity of forces acting upon the vehicle and reduce the amount of traction required to hold the car in a turn, resulting in less braking required, thus, higher speeds throughout the entire turn. Since a toy car does not have brakes, it cannot slow down, and if the turn is too tight and not banked, the toy car will simply fly off the track because of the under-steering phenomenon.
Can you hydroplane at 30 miles per hour?
Quite possibly ! It depends on the conditions of the surface you're travelling on, and the state of your vehicle's tyres.
How do I find the speed of a vehicle when all I know is the length of the skid marks 24.2 metres and the pavement was wet at this time with a very slight slope down?
To find the speed you would need to find the time taken to create the skid marks and then use the equations of motion. As the vehicle is skidding, the wheels are not turning so the braking force is the friction between the tyre and the road surface; this has to overcome the forward speed of the vehicle and the forward force of the weight of the vehicle along the road (as there is a downward slope). The forward force of the vehicle can be calculated by knowledge of the mass of the vehicle and the angle of the slope. The frictional force generated can be calculated from the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road surface, and the mass of the vehicle. The road being wet will reduce the coefficient of friction of the road surface/tyre boundary compared to when the road surface is dry. It is easier, by experiment, to do a few test runs using a vehicle of similar mass under similar conditions to get how the vehicle is likely to have slowed down when it skidded, and extrapolate/interpolate to the given distance of 24.2 m.
What is the gripping power bewtween vehicle tires and roadway surface?
Traction
What is acceleration induced traction?
Acceleration induced traction is the amount of traction force generated between a vehicle's tires and the road surface during acceleration. This traction force is necessary to propel the vehicle forward efficiently and safely. Proper balance of acceleration and traction is crucial to maintain control and stability of the vehicle.
Slick or wet low traction surface makes it hard to control the speed and what of my vehicle?
Idk
What is the final factor that will determine if the vehicle will stop?
The amount of traction its tires have on the road surface over which they are rolling.
What is the final factor that will determine if vehicle will stop?
The amount of traction its tires have on the road surface over which they are rolling.
What is the gripping power between the tires and the roadway surface called?
The gripping power between a vehicle tires and a roadway surface is called traction
Is Traction affected by inertia?
Yes, traction can be affected by inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. When a vehicle accelerates or decelerates, the inertia of its mass can affect the traction between the tires and the road surface, influencing the vehicle's ability to grip the road and maintain control.
How do you useTraction in a sentence?
The wheels of the vehicle lost traction because of the ice and snow
Why do the tanks have chains on its wheels?
The added surface area allows for more traction and less sinking of the vehicle when in mud or sand.
What does tcs stand for in an Acura?
"Traction Control System" it engages when your vehicle loses traction, reducing gas supply to slow the vehicle so you can regain traction.
What does traction light mean?
When the traction light is on you have the traction control turned on in your vehicle and traction control is activated. Traction control is applying brakes to a wheel that losing traction.
Explain the relationship between inertia and traction?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. Traction is the grip or adhesion of a tire on the road surface. Inertia affects the ability of an object to overcome resistance to motion, while traction provides the necessary grip for the tires to effectively transfer the vehicle's power to the road. Adequate traction is needed to overcome inertia and allow the vehicle to accelerate, decelerate, and maneuver effectively.
