Question

As you drive your automobile on a straight flat road explain why you must keep your foot on the accelerator to keep the car going at a constant velocity. What is the physical term for the state the automobile is in?

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of the car produces friction between the tires and the road and the car will slow down due to this friction unless you continue to accelerate.

So, you must keep your foot on the accelerator to keep the car going at a constant velocity. (Answer)

In this case,the physical term for the state the automobile is called Uniform Motion (With Force Equibrium). (Because with a constant velocity,a car travels equal distances in equal intervals of time). (Answer)
