What happens when you build a car beyond the concept of precision?

Manufacturers will not release it because the car will be too good...hence they will not sell as many cars later.

no,...\nit depends upon the given label or element that accompanies the numeral. the example you gave equals to four. 2 cars plus 2 trucks make 4 vehicles. unfortunately this does not happen all the time. okay what do i mean,,, in chemistry, there is a certain concept wherein the addition of an element to another may cause deduction and not addition. example 2 negative ions added to 2 positive ions result to 0. \n\nfor every rule, there exists a contradicting exemption....

Normally when car manufacturers are talking about just HP, they are talking about the horsepower the engine makes at the flywheel. Wheel HP on the other hand is the measurement of horsepower at the wheels. Between the flywheel and the drive wheels, horsepower is lost in components such as the transmission and the differential. So the HP an engine makes at the flywheel is always going to be higher than the horsepower reading at the wheels.\nAnd when it all comes down to it, the horsepower made at the wheels is what really moves the car.

Yes,but it's providing downforce to stick car to track better.The car is going to cut the air,and you sure don't want it to go under,then car would lift up and get airborn.

All kinds of things. All of a cars mechanisms are based on physical laws. I suppose this is for a school project so it might be enough if you talk about speed, acceleration etc...and maybe about the chemical energy that is being converted to heat energy which is being converted to kinetic energy (in school terms). When going through a curve you can talk about centripetal acceleration etc etc

Practice, prefereably with non brakable objects to represent other cars - cardboard boxes and traffic cones.\nI found it helped to visualise the car from outside but some people think i'm crazy.

yes, e.g. a braking car. \nOf course, you can't have accelaration and velocity going in opposite directions forever - the velocity will change to direction of acceleration eventually.

Thousands, It's complicated and unless your a good design engineer with Outstanding math skills, Machining skills, Metal specification knowledge. It is almost impossiable, That is why it takes the automakers on average of fives years to design a new engine and thats using teams of up to 40 to 100 people.or more. and modern CAD programs.

We use math while driving (speed, distance), cooking, making purchases, regulating temerature in our home, putting gas in our cars, wow this list is endless.\n\nEver see a house that looked wrong?  Most likely there was something mathematically out of balance with the placement of the windows & doors on the front of it.\n\nGood luck with your project!

i suppose it depends on the car.  there are a few cars that are jet powered that can travel faster than the speed of sound.

Car..auto...how more self explanatory can you get?

The stop distance is not an arithmetic progression (ie it is not 40m). It is in fact a geometric progression. The stop distance is a lot lot more. Truthfully, I don't know but if you were travelling at 120 kmh and there was a truck 40m (or even 60m) in front of you when the brakes locked; you'd be dead.

It does not matter how many seconds your car moves in first gear, after that it should be 60 miles/hour and the feets you do the math by yourself. GOT IT???DUHHH

ummmmm.....what is it that you're trying to engineer?  cars, trains, software, buildings?

Mass, acceleration, velocity, wheel size, traction (tire surface contact to track), torque from engine, horsepower. Are some of the things needed to know.\n\nYour best bet is start with a kit for a given class of race car and build and learn from that. Start with a Go-Kart.

Use Finite Element Method to model the chassis. You can use any software on FEM. To get complete information about chassis (its functions and types of loads and modes of failure, etc.) read any good book on automobile engg.

You can do a theoretical top speed with physics, but it wouldn't account for the two main killers of speed which are aerodynamic drag and internal friction.  Without knowing those, you'd only be getting a false promise from your calculations.
