Are electric cars better for the environment than gasoline ones? Nowadays‚ people all over the world do their best to live greener and not contribute to global warming. An invention that is meant to help reduce the amount of toxic waste that is polluting the environment nowadays is that of the electric car. But is electric really so much better than gas? Electric cars are emission free‚ compact and lightweight‚ and three times as efficient as gas engines.

Detroit had been in decline since it was rocked by race riots in 1967. Since then‚ there has been a real drop-off in investment and economic development in the city. Like a lot of other cities in the American northeast and Midwest‚ it was badly affected when factories moved south or out of the country‚ but was harder hit because it was a one-industry city. Most big cities have more than one industry‚ but Detroit’s economy was completely centered on the automobile. When the Recession hit‚ Detroit

contrasting a longboard and a electric longboard. The electric longboard would go faster if you were just cruising or trying to get to work or class. But if the electric one was about dead. The regular longboard would go faster. Let’s say that we were going down hill with the boards. The regular board can reach up to about 80 miles per hour. And the electric board might just break and you won’t be able to use it. People say that they would rather have a electric longboard instead of a regular

The test charge at first was attracted but then repelled. 3. After observing the electric field in your trials above‚ where was the electric field the strongest? What was the direction of the electric field? ● Positive charge Upwards 4. Did you notice a green arrow appear as the test charge started to accelerate‚ this arrow represented the electric force! If not‚ take another “shot” at the game above and come back to this question. When was the electric force the greatest? ● Electric force was the greatest when the positive/negative was close to the test charge

An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The electric motor gets energy from a controller‚ which regulates the amount of power transmitted throughout the vehicle‚ based on the driver’s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric motors give electric cars instant torque‚ creating a strong and smooth acceleration pattern. Electric cars are about three times more efficient than cars with an internal combustion engine. A pure-battery electric car uses energy stored
