can driving your car east make the world spin faster?

Yes.  Absolutely.\n\nThe reason is Newton's Law - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  Remember F = M*a.  So by Newton's law\n\nF(1) = F(2)\n\nMass(Earth)*acceleration = Mass(car)*(acceleration of car)\n\nYou have to do all sorts of conversions on the acceleration which I couldn't be bothered with, but let's say the car accelerates from a dead stop at 10 m/s^2 and assume it weighs 1000 kg (it's a kick-asss car).  Then\n\n(1000*10) = mass of the Earth (Kg)*(acceleration)\n\nYou can see the mass of the Earth is so great that the total acceleration of the Earth is imperceptible.  But if you had a quadzillion kg car acceleration a bubillion m per second squared, you would have a real impact on the Earth.\n\nNote also that as soon as you've stopped accelerating the Earth stops accelerating, regards of the steady state speed you're going.  Also, unless you have unlimited gas, you're going to have to stop.  As you stop, the Earth will slow down.  When you finally stop, the Earth will be going exactly the speed it was going before you started.

Yes.  A wheel in the shape of a circle is going to go significantly farther than a wheel in the shape of a square.

spin around really fast

yes\nI always take off my right shoe to drive.\nI keep my hands at 10 & 2\nI shut-off radio when in heavy traffic.(reduce stress)\nI empty out my Ciggs. into cup holder for easy access.

What sort of crap car is that? 10 mph. I can walk faster!

the best side to drive is to drive with  the traffic (Not Against it !)

Just over 1000 miles per hour at the equator.\n\nYou don't feel it because it's constant.  When you're in a car, or an airplane, and you're running steady, you don't feel the speed.  Relative to your position, it doesn't change.  \n\nNow, if someone put the brakes on the rotation, things would go flying (but be held in place by gravity).\n\n\nEDIT:  Amy,  your answer is too spooky to mine!

In rather indirect ways, yes.\nRecycling paper helps save trees (recycle a little bit, save "part" of a tree) which convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.  (Carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse affect)\nMy driving style is geared around saving gas.  Mostly to save myself money, but even if I become very wealthy, I'm still going to be a bit conservative in my driving- still gonna get a hybrid, albeit a more powerful one.  Save gas, less emissions into atmosphere that contribute to global warming.\nOne person can't stop global warming alone.  However, each person can help a little bit, and it'll all add up.

I doubt it.\n\nAssume that gravity force is a vector.  These vectors leave the earth radially and extend through out the universe. imagine you will make a car that cancels these vectors.  Then every where you drive there will be no gravity above the car as well.  This would be quite bad for the rest of us because all the air in a column above your car would now escape into the atmosphere.  Since escape velocity would only need to be above zero.  While you are driving around draining the atmosphere into space stop and think maybe a satellite is above you and it doesn't want to be removed from its present orbit.  So you best not drive under it or satellite TV subscribers, telephone, comm-systems  and a bunch of other will be quite perturbed.  \n\nDon't count on it.

it depends how fast u go. lol

have the fastest car and the best reaction time

This is due to relative velocity. It's a great concept...it's the same concept which applies to you sitting at your desk..believe it or not...the earth you are situated on is revolving at the rate of once everyday..but do you feel it?? Nope...that is because you are revolving with it at the same speed. The formula for relative velocity is Vu-Vo where Vu is your speed and Vo is the speed of the other car..since they are the same, you subtract and voila..you get zero..therefore the car appears to be moving at zero speed in your vision. Check out relative velocity on GOogle..its a fun topic and your question is the fundamental base to relativity...Wow huh??\n\nGood luck.\n\nAyerhs\n\nPS: it is most definitely not because they have it on cruise control..I mean they could if they wanted but thats not the reason that they seen stationary to you.

They're already flying East.  That's why they can't stop.  Let's just say for the sake of argument that anything attached to the surface of the Earth stops instantly.  We do that and there are still interesting things to talk about.\n       Anything not attached in that case would go flying East.  But how fast it went would depend on how close it is to the equator or the poles.  If you were on the south pole or north pole, you would just stop slowly rotating.  If you were near one of the poles, you would fly east, but not so fast.  If you were in the continental U.S., you would go east somewhere around 600 - 700 mph depending on your latitude.  If you were at the equator, you would fly east at around 1000mph.

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.

Drive faster!!!!!!!!!

Great question. Attitude and emotion can absolutely impact the way you drive. Many people go to fast because it makes them feel free and powerful ( others are just late).  While some  people are distracted because they are thinking about other things. A lot of these people cause accidents. These accidents not only effect them but people in other cars and all the families. So it is best before you get in the car and turn the key to clear your head and concentrate on the job of driving.

Although I don't know where that is, it depends how you feel on driving. If its not convienent sure
