QUESTION:

When a car drives off a cliff it rotates forward as it falls. For a higher speed off the cliff, discuss whether the car will rotate more or less. (Consider the time that the unbalanced torque acts.)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The higher the speed of a car as it drives off a cliff, the less time it's unbalanced in the air. That means that gravity has less time to act on a car as a torque with a lever being distance from back wheels to the front edge of a car and gravity being the force. So, the faster the car goes, the less it will rotate.
