Question: Why don't all car brakes screech? Posted: 28 Oct 2014 11:12 AM PDT Why don't all car brakes screech? I know that they should only screech when they are worn out and need to be replaced but I'm just curious as to why they don't ALWAYS screech. The brake is metal and the rotor is metal. And when you rub metal together you get a screeching noise. So why not here? Even if the brake isn't made out of metal, it's still a hard material. What gives? |
Question: What is wrong with my truck? Posted: 28 Oct 2014 10:48 AM PDT it doesnt want to run longer than 20 min or so it shuts off like it stopped getting gas and wont start again until it is cold |
Posted: 28 Oct 2014 10:36 AM PDT A tow truck is connected to a 1500-kg car by a cable that makes a 30∘ angle to the horizontal.? If the truck accelerates at 0.61m/s2 , what's the magnitude of the cable tension? Neglect friction and the cable's mass |
Question: Why didn't America build V-12 engine for their sports cars ? Posted: 28 Oct 2014 09:53 AM PDT they are heavy, complex and gas hogs, and are not really suitable for most sports cars. For example, the E Type Jaguar (XKE as some call it), went from an inline 6 to a V-12, and it completely changed the character of the car---and not for the better either. A V-12 is more suited to a large limo or a powerful heavy GT car--not for a 2-passenger light car that needs to scoot around turns quickly and easily. Besides, American car makers made a number of V-12s in the 1930s, and they were not particularly popular. Increasing the number of cylinders does not automatically translates linearly into proportional power. Whatever a V-12 can do, a V-8 can do. |
Posted: 28 Oct 2014 09:41 AM PDT You need to have someone plug in a code reader to tell you what's going on. Sometimes places like Autozone or OReilly Auto Parts will lend you one for free. Generally speaking, you should be okay for 30 miles unless the check engine light is actually blinking----in that case, you may be grounded. |
