If you drop a suitcase out of a moving car, the momentum of the car will decrease as there will be less mass, therefore less momentum. :)

Should fuel gauge still read when ignition is off or should the needle drop to empty?

Depends on the car. Most should drop to empty when the ignition is off but some cars stay in the same position, they are rare though. (Toyota crown, Isuzu panther)


What happens to car if coil in car breaks?

A broken coil spring will cause the effected corner of the vehicle to drop. A broken ignition coil will cause the engine to misfire (coil on plug application) or cease to run.


Why is streamlining important in cars?

Streamlining can help cars travel faster. The more streamlined the car is the less drag it creates, so the faster it can travel with ease. When a car is aerodynamic it finds a path through the particles so the car can easily pass through them. The same concept applies for this drop of water: This image shows how the particles pass over the car: I hope this is what you wanted as I had a similar question for my science homework the other day.


How the heights of the hills are designed to allow an empty car to reach the end of the ride?

The hill has to be low enough that the momentum of the car from the previous drop carries it up and over the hill. This is why the hills are usually lower toward the end of the ride: because the car has lost momentum due to friction and air resistance. In a perfect world with no friction or air resistance, the coaster could have as many hills as the designers wanted as long as none of them are higher than the highest point that the chain lift reaches. But in the real world, friction and air resistance slow the car down, so this is taken into account by the design engineers. Hope this helped

Drop a stone from the top of a high cliff identify the system wherein the net momentum is zero as t?

By the Law of Conservation of Momentum, the change in momentum is zero. Therefore, the momentum stays the same, it does not increase or decrease.


How did momentum and impulse affects the egg drop experiment?

Thats for me to know and you to find out.


Theorem that states that an impulse produces a change in momentum?

It is called the momentum-impulse theorem and states that an impulse will change the momentum of an object. For example, if you drop an object when it hits the ground an impulse occurs. The momentum of the object also changes. Jnet = deltap, where deltap is the change in momentum.


What does momentum have to do withe volleyball?

with out momentum the volleyball wouldn't travel, eg: when you throw the ball it carrys momentum through the air, but as soon as force isn't applyed to keep the ball traveling at the same speed, it will loose speed (momentum) and drop to the ground.

What happens to presidential candidates who do poorly in the first primaries?

It depends somewhat on how badly they lose and how strong they were expected to be in that state. However, if they keep losing, there comes a point when they run out of money and drop out. Momentum is important since it affects funding.
