Air drag.
The faster something moves through air, the harder it becomes to overcome the air drag. The faster you go, the more power it takes to speed up.
It's very similar to moving through water. Moving slowly, there isn't much resistance. But the more you speed up, the harder it becomes.

How do the direction of a car's velocity and acceleration compare when the car is slowing down?
-- Its kinetic energy decreases. -- If the process continues, the car may stop altogether.
How does a car increases and decreases friction?
To increase friction, the car goes faster so that the air resistance becomes greater. To decrease friction the car goes slower to decrease the air resistance acting on the car. Hope that helped:)
What is called when an object's speed decreases?
car negative acceleration, also deceleration
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
suppose when we apply brakes to a car in motion then the speed of the car decreases which means the acceleration is backwards but the car is still running in the forward direction
How does friction decrease the acceleration of a car?
friction decreases the acceleration of a car by creating a greater force which pushes against the acceleration force. the friction is a force, but more of it means that whatever is pushing against it ( acceleration in this case) is made smaller.
If a car goes in 6.8 seconds how do you figure out the acceleration?
Acceleration= distance / velocity squared
Does a car have negative acceleration when leaving a garage?
Acceleration does not involve the direction a car goes in. The question is too vague to answer correctly.
What forces makes a car go faster?
my dad says acceleration
How would acceleration effect your car?
It would make it go faster.
Why do cars not have to get faster and faster when it sets off?
A car has a variable power setting called a throttle. So you can vary the power and thus the acceleration and maximum speed you reach. Then there is friction resisting the movement of the car, so if the faster it goes the more power is required to to make it go faster or even maintain the speed you are at.
When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.
Why is the mini the best car?
it goes faster
