Energy in a car goes to what 4 main places?
1. Speeding up and slowing down with brakes.
2. Air resistance
3. Rolling resistance
4. Heat - 75% of energy
What kind of energy is acceleration?
Kinetic
When a car travels half the speed, what is power consumption?
Power consumption is 8x's smaller.
When is the energy dissipation of a car dominated by the brakes?
If the mass of the car > mass of the tube of air --> mc>pAd
