vehicles (BEVs) are powered by electricity stored in large batteries within the vehicles. These batteries are used to power an electric motor‚ which drives the vehicle. This system allows BEVs to operate with zero emissions at their point of use. Most new BEVs also use ‘regenerative braking’‚ which allows the electric motor to act as a generator in order to re-capture energy that would normally be lost through heat dissipation and frictional losses – this improves energy efficiency and reduces brake

As Robert‚ the blind man‚ entered his life‚ it was hard for the man to form any bond with Robert due to his visual impairment. The man even created a picture in his

winding the spring on your mousetrap car‚ you store energy in the spring as potential energy. This stored potential energy will convert energy into kinetic energy as the mouse-trap car begins to move. But there is friction and in order to overcome friction you have to do more work. Friction converts energy into heat and sound which takes away energy from your motion‚ causing the car to stop as its energy is turned into other forms. When designing a mousetrap car‚ there are two variables that truly

CAR SAFETY Active and Passive: Car safety features are grouped into two categories: Active and Passive. Active feature are designed to reduce the likelihood of a crash. Things such as tires‚ brakes‚ lights and steering are active features. The most important of all of them however is the driver. Passive safety features aim to reduce the damage done to a car ’s occupants in the event of a crash. These include things like seatbelts‚ airbags‚ and crumple zones. For all these features any car
