soxfanbry asked: I seem to be having problems with my car. Here is a quick summary. I have a 6 speed, standard, toyota celica gts. When I accelerate in gears 1-4 I press the gas, the rpm’s shoot way up and the car takes time to speed up. The car acts as if I am in the wrong gear. I can assure you, I am not. It does ok in 4-5 gears when i simply press the gas, but I get on the gas anymore than a slight press, it does the same thing. The rpm’s and the engine rev really high, close to the red zone on the rpm indicator and the car simply doesn’t respond as it should. Again, it feels to me as if I need to downshift, but that isn’t the issue. In 6th gear, the car doesn’t even respond to the gas, just the rpm’s rev up when i press the gas. The car does not accelerate at all. Could this be an issue with my clutch, perhaps some belt or even a simple tune up?
Thanks guys! I was thinking the clutch could be an issue.
I have 50k miles, but almost all city driving.

john k asked: Drag means if you down acceleration of the moving vehicle, its speed reduces not solely by gravitation but due to the pull of the vehicle engine.

thewayworldturns asked: At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 2.20 . At the same instant, a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 14.8 , overtakes and passes the automobile.
How far beyond its starting point does the automobile overtake the truck?
How fast is the automobile traveling when it overtakes the truck?
physics help!
