Drag forces are trying to slow the car down. Engine power to the wheels generates force that equals the drag, and keeps the car travelling at a constant speed. The sum of all forces on the car are zero, which is why it is not accelerating or decelerating.

If a race car travels along a raceway at a constant velocity of 200kmh what horizontal forces act?

The road is the horizontal force on the car. The tires push on the road which is the action and the road pushes forward on the tires which is the reaction.


If you keep the velocity of projection constant and change the angle of projection from 75 to 45 what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels?

The horizontal distance will be doubled.


What is the value of this constant velocity if an object travels at a constant velocity for a time period of 11.31 s over a displacement of 10.55m?

Velocity = Displacement/Time =10.55m/11.31s = 0.932m/s Value of constant velocity is 0.932m/s.


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 110 km h?

The acceleration of an object that travels in a constant straight line velocity is zero.


What happens to light when it travels from air into denser?

its frequency remains constant but velocity changes.


If an object travels for 15 minutes at a constant velocity of 12 miles per hour west what is its acceleration?

Since acceleration is a change in velocity, if your velocity is constant (does not change), your acceleration is zero.


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 135 kilometers per hour?

If a car travels in a straight line with a constant speed, then the car has a constant velocity (determined by direction and speed), and the acceleration is 0.


As long as an object travels in a straight line at a steady speed it velocity is what?

That's the definition of constant velocity. Also a good description of zero acceleration.


What do you understand by channel of constant velocity?

The channel of constant velocity means that it is moving along a straigh line, and as every second of time goes by, the object travels through the same number of meters or we can say that it travels equal displacements per equal time intervals. Y.N.Rajesh........................


What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?

The horizontal velocity of the projectile (and the air resistance if known) will determine the horizontal distance traveled and the time required.


What is unifom velocity?

when a body travels unequal displacement in equal interval of time or visa-versa, it is said to have non-uniform velocity


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 80 km per hour?

if the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. The acceleration is the rate at which the velocity changes, so if it stays the same, the car isn't accelerating.
