technically couldn’t it keep accelerating without any resistance and reach incredible speeds making it the fastest car ever?
yes, it could. First thing if people will colonize Mars, they must build a long straight to test top speed.
Rolling resistance and internal friction would still hold it back. Mars does has an atmosphere (just a very thin one) so you’d have air resistance too. Plus it’d need extremely long gearing meaning it’d accelerate very slowly.
2150 be like:
“So what’s this car’s 0-lightspeed time?”
No, Mars has an atmosphere like Earth’s. If you put a Tesla on the moon, however, and somehow managed to make a motor and wheels that can spin at the rpms needed to reach infinite speeds, you’d go faster until you were going so fast that you achieved liftoff. Then you’d do a wheelie and flip yourself over backwards.
Nope sorry. It cannot accelerate without any force pushing it ore any propellant. However, without any resistance it would never decelarete. Forever.
Wow, turns out a body from a lotus makes good top speed cars. But Hennesey made it look better. Even if it wasn’t one of the fastest cars made it still would be on my favourite list.
Only the original Roadster was Lotus-based. The new Roadster will be entirely in-house.
Being both an automotive and areospace enthusiast, I have to again say congrats to the Elongated Muskrat and the whole SpaceX team. Reading Musk’s biography is a Must(k) for anyone who likes engeneering.
EngineeringExplained. Always answering the questions that no one ha ever asked, but everyone wants to know the answer to. Great video

USA!
Change your Units!
Its horrible!
