Why does a car use more fuel going 70mph then going 50mph?
two things cause a car to slow down friction from the wheels and drag from the air. cars experience resistance from the air (drag) and this resistance increases as the speed of the air/car increases. As a result the more fuel is needed to keep the car going at a higher constant speed (you have to press harder on the gas pedal at that speed).
You got a speeding ticket for 92 in a 70 in Iowa you are from Minnesota can your parents find out the speed you were going if you tell them you were going a slower speed than actual?
They may find out through the car insurance company, The car insurance is higher when the speed if over 5 miles above the posted speed. It's always better to tell the truth.
What is that song that starts nobody going tobeat my car its going tobreak the speed of sound?
It's calledNobody Gonna Take My CarBy Democratic Underground.It is also Highway Star by Deep Purple in 1972
Can you get a ticket if going one mile over the limit?
Absolutely. Over the speed limit is over the speed limit. But it is very unlikely because the proof will not be there. Devices used to determine another car's speed, like radar guns, are not sufficiently exact to prove a 1 mile overlimit speed. Such devices have tolerances as much as 5 MPH, sometimes more, meaning that if the radar device reads 1 mile over the limit, the speed could really be anywhere between 4 MPH under the limit or 6 MPH over the limit. That possibility is sufficient to create a reasonable doubt that will prevent a conviction. What if the tolerance is 5 MPH and the reading is 67 MPH. That could be enough proof, but police have better things to do than stop a car for going a mile over the limit (like going after the people going 20 MPH over the limit). If they stopped every car for going 1 MPH over limit, they wouldn't be able to do anything but write tickets.
How accurate is a police radar gun when the car is going down hill?
Very accurate, it measures speed and doesn't care if the vehicle is traveling up or down, toward or away from the radar gun.
