How Hybrid Cars Work A hybrid car is a passenger vehicle that is driven by a hybrid engine‚ which is any engine that combines two or more sources of power‚ generally gasoline and electricity. There are two types of gasoline-electric hybrid cars; the parallel hybrid‚ and the series hybrid. Both use gasoline-electric hybrid technology‚ but in radically different ways. In a parallel hybrid car‚ a gasoline engine and an electric motor work together to move the car forward‚ while in a series hybrid

What Factors Affect Chemical Equilibrium? Introduction: In investigation 14‚ “What Factors Affect Chemical Equilibrium?”‚ the purpose was to find out which reagents caused a change in the chemical equilibrium. A deep red color was formed when Iron Nitrate [Fe(NO3)3 (aq)] was mixed with water and Ammonium Thiocyanate [NH4NCS (aq)]. The product of these two reactants was Iron Thiocyanate(FeNCS). After different trials of mixing the given reagents

Name Teacher Class Date Alternative Fuels Today’s environment is polluted with many carbon and other pollutions harmful to humans and the environment. Many of these pollutions are mostly from transportation vehicles. More dangers are rising‚ causing global warming and health risks to be increased at a higher probability of it occurring. With gasoline becoming scarce and an abundant amount of pollution in the environment‚ transportation companies need to enforce and search for better ways that

Remember the difference in a change in demand [supply] and a change in quantity demanded [supplied]. Don’t shift both curves unless appropriate). Describe what happens to equilibrium price and sales. Explain why or why not this makes sense in the real world. -A- Show the effect on the U.S. new construction residential housing market in the event of a severe economic recession. In theory‚ during a recession both demand for‚ and the supply of homes would drop. Demand would drop due to unemployment

The electricity is used only as an intermediate energy storage medium to improve the overall efficiency of the vehicle. They therefore DO NOT need to be plugged in to recharge the battery. This cuts down on the amount of fuel needed‚ producing fewer emissions and lowering overall fuel costs. As with BEVs‚ most hybrids also use ‘regenerative braking’‚ which captures energy from braking to be put back into the battery - this improves energy efficiency and reduces brake wear. Plug in hybrid electric

Torques equilibrium‚ and center of gravity Introduction Torque is a quantitative measure of the tendency of a force to cause or change the rotational motion of a rigid body. A torque is the result of force acting at a distance from an axis of rotation. An essential thing to keep in mind is that the magnitude of the torque is equal to the product of the forces perpendicular distance and magnitude. Theory The magnitude of the torque (t) is found from the product of the force F and

I. Introduction Crash‚ boom‚ bang! In an instant‚ a car accident can change a person’s life forever. Each year‚ many unsuspecting drivers‚ passengers‚ and pedestrians are killed on the roads of the United States. The main question we ask ourselves is why? Are people killed because of high speed crashes? Did the airbags not deploy at the proper time? Were the roads in acceptable conditions? Unfortunately‚ we can not always determine the causes of all accidents‚ simply because we were not on

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Cars Introduction to Electric Cars An electric car is a vehicle which is driven by electric engines. The engines use electrical energy which is usually stored in batteries. Electric car is a variation of electric vehicle (EV). EV speaks of any vehicles which are propelled by electric engines. “Electric car” is a general term for high-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity. In the United States‚ low-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity
