Nowadays, the technology of cars are getting more advanced and innovations are coming out. Cars are the most common transportation in China and most family will have one car. Because of too many cars ,there is a high probability of traffic jam. No one like traffic jam and you always want to arrived at a place as fast as you can. Imagine you can use your car to “teleport” yourself, just like is done in Star Trek.If your car can transport as fast as light , you will never need to chasing the subway and feel annoying about traffic. If you want your car have very high speed , what is the affects which affect your speed? What can make a car have very high speed? The adapted one from modern cars is the fastest car in the world. It is better than …show more content…
Power is main supply for your car to keep in high speed. Power is very important in the car and it is supplied by engine.Resistance are mainly is the friction and air resistance. Unless the road is flat , the gravity will also produce resistance. The weight of the car only plays an important role when it is accelerating. When it is reached the top speed ,it will not play a role.The car that I adapted have a irregular surface which is similar to the golf ball. It can reduce the air resistance.The perfect engine , the reasonable mass, and the top of the car it close very to the close to ground the car will travel at the speed of …show more content…
After we calculate the result , the F0 id much faster than the normal cars. The acceleration of a car is also very important.The weight of the car only plays an important role when it is accelerating. F0 have very accurate and reasonable weight. The acceleration is like velocity , it has direction ,and the formula for it is the the final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time. The F0 has very huge advantage on the acceleration. There is a gap between the normal car and the F0. Resistance are mainly is the friction and air resistance. Resistance is another affect of stop car in the high speed. F0 have a irregular surface outer shell and the top of the car is very close to the ground so the air resistance will be reduced. We can use the find out what is the force that act on the car . We can figure out answer though the formula force is equal to the mass times acceleration. If it is not a flat road ,the gravity will also produce resistance. The gravity formula is the weight equal to the mass of the car times the acceleration. Use these formula we can see that the F0 is much better than other
The faster the wheels spin, the faster the car will go. Our project requires our car to go at least 3 meters. Our initial trials were successful because our car went 7,8, and then 9 meters. The car went 7 meters in 8 seconds with a speed of 0.875 m/s. It went 8 meters in 10 seconds with a speed of 0.8 m/s. It finally went 9 meters in 12 seconds with a speed of 0.75 m/s. It is what makes the wheel spin instead of just sliding on the ground.
One of the most commonly used ways to give a vehicle more horsepower these days is forced induction. There are normally 3 different methods of forced induction, nitrous, turbochargers and superchargers. Although this essay will only consist of superchargers and turbochargers. The problem people face when choosing which equipment to install on their car is what is better, turbocharging or supercharging? Both turbochargers and superchargers have pros and cons, and both of them share quite a few similarities. Choosing a forced induction system can be something that makes or breaks your street car, or weekend warrior. Pending what the budget is, what the power levels desired are, and even the type of car it is going into. Many variables come into play with front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles. It is entirely up to the driver or builder in order to determine the best route to take, or possibly the worst route to end at. Covering the pros and cons is a good way to help make an educated decision on what
Power and control are objects every human seeks. The car has given the average man control over his environment to a degree not accessible anywhere else in his daily routine. The automobile provides something that individuals can be comfortable in, own and slowly master. The driver has complete control over his/her speed, a speed greater than one they could achieve on their own. They have power over the temperature in the car, how there seat is adjusted and what music they listen to. This constant control gives the driver a sense of security.
Top Fuel dragsters, the fastest-accelerating vehicles in the world, are the most recognizable of all drag race cars. These cars are limited to a 25-foot body and are very low to the ground. This is important because they are capable of covering the quarter-mile in less than 4.5 seconds at speeds in excess of 330 mph. A supercharger, fuel injection, or a nitro methane-burning engine may power these long narrow "missiles". In this class, it is easy for the cars to produce more than 6,000 horsepower.
An attempt to create one of the first automobiles was Charles King. However, his car weighed three times the amount of Ford's attempt at 500 pounds. While King's car could only make five miles per hour, the speed of a brisk walk, Ford's automobile reached up to 20 miles per hour.
These cars operate from a rechargeable battery and gasoline. The engines are smaller so that they will be able to accommodate the 99% of time when the car is not going uphill or accelerating quickly. The battery is used to give extra acceleration power if needed. When the car is stopped, hybrid gasoline motors can shut off and run off their electric motor and battery. These cars are aerodynamic and the tires are often stiffer and inflated higher to reduce dragging.
Drag: Here's where aerodynamics come into play. As an object moves through the air, it is met with air resistance as speeds increase. This air resistance pushes against your CO2 car and prevents it from going as fast as it could in a vacuum. You can't completely ever reduce drag, but you can help reduce it by building a more aerodynamic car, but those are more difficult to create.
No matter what any politician in Washington or employee of the Federal Highway Administration may say, there is a serious and immediate problem with our nation's transportation systems. The Texas Transportation Institute has recently done several studies that have produced some very alarming results. For example, the average American spends approximately 26 hours a year stuck in traffic. Let?s think about that. The ?average? American spends this long cruising at five miles per hour and cursing at other cars around. By saying average, the study means this figure also takes into account people living in rural areas who spend maybe one hour a year stuck in traffic. That means for the majority of us, in the Phoenix area and other large cities, we spend 3 or 4 times more wasting our valuable time in traffic. For people who drive into the city everyday for work, it might even be worse (Fay 3). Now that?s a lot of time if you ask me.
Do you ever feel like you are waiting at a red light in your car for what seems like forever? Well, that’s because “ The average person throughout their lifetime spends five years waiting in lines and queues where roughly six months of that is waiting at traffic lights”(How). Cities and towns have faced a transportation problem and they are looking for ways to tackle the issue. Transportation is a big part of one’s everyday life, and it is impossible to avoid it. Transportation plays a crucial role in the way we travel to things like school and work. Humans need transportation to get from place A to place B. There are different kinds of transportation, but the most common one in modern society is automobiles. Although transportation of automobiles is a quick way of traveling at the moment. Automobiles bring issues like health problems, air pollution, and high expenses. This is because humans always manage to take the easy way out without looking at the long-term effects that come with automobiles.
This paper is a look at the physics behind car racing. We look look at how we can use physics to select tires, how physics can help predict how much traction we will have, how physics helps modern cars get there extreme speed, how physics lets us predict the power of an engine, and how physics can even help the driver find the quickest way around the track.

In order to have a fast and efficient car all these things I have discussed need to be taken into consideration. A fast car should be designed with aerodynamic surfaces for a balance of maximum production of downforce and minimum drag creating surfaces. It should have as small an engine as possible to reduce mass and reduce the necessary size of the frontal area, but a large enough engine to be able to produce enough horsepower to be able to create more force than the resistance the car faces to accelerate and enough to balance with those forces at high speeds. The tires should be wide enough for fast acceleration and good cornering but not so wide it creates large amounts of rolling resistance. Your overall best example of such a car would be formula one races or Indy cars because they have to have good handling, fast acceleration and reach and maintain high speeds.
Speed not only kills it also costs money and other problems. Cars traveling at higher speeds increase the amount of fuel usage and therefore this causes more pollution in the environment. Not only that since it uses more fuel and takes up fuel faster one has to get gas more often and this will cause the driver to spend more money. Driving fast will increase the wear and tear of your car and the predicted reliability could drop and you might have to replace the automobile faster than expected because the vehicle wont lasts you as long as it was suppose. When you speed you have chances of getting speeding tickets that are very high in cost and you have to pay for them. Speeding tickets also raise your insurance rate; just two speeding tickets can increase your insurance premiums by fifty percent.
Law two can be used to calculate “the relationship between an objects mass (m), its acceleration (a), and the applied force (f) is F= ma.” This formula is used in all of the above components in the car.
Since the invention of the automobile, we have been able to decrease transportation costs, travel vast distances and decrease travel times. We are able to facilitate relationships, foster trade between places, and find better jobs. However, due to the inaccurate pricing of the roads, driving cars has turned from an innovation to pure frustration. The problem is traffic congestion; the increased usage of cars has created slower speeds and longer travel times due to greater demand for the road than the road has to offer. Roughly 3.4 million Americans endure extreme commutes, in which the trip to work and back eats up at least three hours each day (Balaker, Staley 2006).
