What should be done to control the speed of a car on a downhill slope?
Down shift one gear possibly two.
Does a heavy car go faster downhill that going uphill?
No the can go faster downhill or uphill
When should a driver will use the 2?
Driver use gear 'L' or '2' when driving uphill or downhill which required higher gear ratio to move the uphill. Downhill wise, driver use '2' or 'L' for safety purpose. The low gear ratio will use the high gear ratio to slow down the speed of driving downhill and creating 'pulling' force on your car to safety purposes. Gear '2' can be use for overtaking on the highway too provided at the appropriate speed.
Should you change gears when driving up a steep hill on an automatic transmission 2001 Nissan Altima?
Your car should adjust to the proper gear it needs when travelling uphill. Usually you need to turn the overdrive off or shift to a lower drive gear when going downhill or towing. That will use the engine to slow the car instead of your brakes. That way they don't overheat to the point of not working.
Why does your car slow while going uphill?
Gravity. The car is heavy and doesnt want to move, so you must excelerate to make the car go uphill. If a car is going downhill, the is no need to excelerate because gravity is pulling the car downhill.
What way should your right front wheel be facing when you are parked on a downhill curb?
In a downhill area, you should always park with the front wheels toward the curb. The theory is that if the brakes malfunction, the car will move towards the curb and stop, instead of going downhill, gathering speed and causing an accident.
Should a car be left in gear when parking on a hill?
Yes, stop, set parking brake, then release clutch. it is because the parking brake could fail. used as a precaution. there is also a difference in which gear to use for the direction of the hill. you put reverce when the car is facing downhill and viceversa.
Does a toy car go faster with more weight?
Only if it is going downhill.
Which has the greater momentum an airplane in a hangar or a car going downhill?
A car going down-hill ! It's moving - the plane in the hangar is static.
How fast is a car going at 2000rpm?
That would depend on the gear ratio between the engine and the wheels, and in the diameter of the wheels. The transmission of the car lets you change the gear ratio, so in low gear the car may be going 15 MPH, while in high gear the car may be going at 70 MPH.
Should your 2000 Camry be running when check transmission fluid?
Yes, the car must be put in Neutral gear, after going slowly though each gear.
Do you need to use a parking brake when you are away from a short time?
In an car with an automatic transmission, you should be fine not using the parking brake. In one with a manual transmission, leaving the car in gear should suffice, but it can be hard on the transmission to do so. If you are facing downhill, leave the car in reverse. Alternately, if you are facing uphill, leave the car in any one of the forward gears (1st through 3rd-6th depending on what you top gear is).
