Thrust is the force generated by the engine or motor of a vehicle, which pushes it forward and overcomes the resistance of friction and drag.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. Therefore, the greater the force applied to a vehicle, the greater its acceleration.

Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it requires more force to accelerate or decelerate.

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object in contact with a surface. In the case of a vehicle, friction acts in the opposite direction of its motion, slowing it down.

A vehicle's suspension system serves multiple purposes, including providing comfort to passengers by absorbing shocks and vibrations, improving handling and stability by maintaining contact between the tires and the road, and reducing noise and vibration.

Rolling resistance is the force that opposes the motion of a vehicle's tires as they roll on a surface. It is affected by factors such as tire pressure, tire tread design, and the condition of the road surface.

The primary function of a vehicle's brakes is to slow down or bring it to a complete stop by converting kinetic energy into heat through friction.

Driving habits, such as aggressive acceleration and braking, can significantly impact a vehicle's fuel efficiency. Smoother driving techniques and maintaining a steady speed can improve fuel economy.

A vehicle's differential allows the wheels on the same axle to rotate at different speeds, which is necessary when the vehicle is turning or traveling on uneven surfaces.

Friction between the tires and the road surface provides the necessary grip to keep a vehicle on the road, preventing it from skidding or losing control.

A vehicle with a lower center of gravity is more stable because it has a lower tendency to tip over. This is because the weight of the vehicle is distributed more evenly around its center.

A vehicle's drag coefficient is affected by its shape, size, and speed. A more streamlined shape, smaller size, and lower speed generally result in a lower drag coefficient.

A vehicle's transmission allows the driver to change gears, which adjusts the ratio between the engine speed and the wheel speed. This enables the vehicle to operate efficiently at different speeds and loads.

Vehicle speed has the greatest impact on stopping distance because it determines the amount of kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated. Higher speeds require longer stopping distances.

A vehicle's steering system allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle by turning the front wheels.
