Centripetal force, pointing towards the center of the circle that the driver would make were he to continue turning by the same amount at the same speed, is caused by the change in angular momentum resulting from the change in direction of the car's velocity which is controlled via a mechanical and electrical system that transfers the rotational energy from the steering wheel to the tires, whos sizes and pressures have been predetermined to maximize the balance between friction and energy loss caused from their motion and temperature.

Where can I learn how to work on NASCAR race cars?

You can go to school to become a mechanical engineer. This path will allow you to understand how cars work and the physics behind the sport. Momentum and catching a draft are necessary in order for someone to be successful in this sport.

What is the physics behind cars and how does it influence their performance on the road?

The physics behind cars involves concepts like friction, momentum, and aerodynamics. These factors influence a car's performance on the road by affecting its acceleration, braking, and handling. For example, friction between the tires and the road surface determines how quickly a car can stop, while aerodynamics impact its speed and fuel efficiency. Understanding these principles can help improve a car's overall performance and safety on the road.


The red light changes and a line of cars passed you in the other lane There are 3 cars in front of a car 3 cars behind a car and 2 cars behind 2 cars How many cars have passed you?

The answer is in fact 4. 3 cars in front of 1 car = 4 3 cars behind 1 car = 4 2 cars behind 2 cars = 4 All these sentences are relating to the same row of cars so there are 4 cars

Why do cars have four weels?

2 would make it a bike, and 4 are more stable than 3. More wheels than that and it gets real tricky to get wheels to track properly when turning.

Who has the right of way when both cars are turning left?

When both cars are turning left, the car that does not have to cross the path of oncoming traffic typically has the right of way.


Why do race car drivers stay close behind cars?

In a NASCAR type of race (there are many types of racing) staying close behind another car (this procedure is called "drafting") can increase the speed of both vehicles while both cars use less fuel. This also depends on the track and the speed the track allows them to travel.


Where would a lap car go after a caution on the track?

It depends,1. If they are the first car 1 lap down they get the lap back (this is called, "Lucky Dog.") They then are the last car in line and they are back on the lead lap.2. If not the first lap car they just keep their position in relation to the other cars. So if they are 5 cars behind the the first place car, they stay 5 cars behind the first place car.3. If all cars in front of them pit (lapped or not) and they do not then their car would be right behind the pace car on the restart. I have only seen this done a couple times.4. If they choose to pit then they are added to the back in the order they left the pits.Cars on the lead lap get to pit first. Cars a lap or more down have to wait until the second caution lap that the pits are open. So if all cars on the track pit then all lapped cars are behind the cars on the lead lap.This only applies to NASCAR. Other racing organisations have different rule regarding this.
