Linear motion and acceleration. Animation using the forward linear motion of a racing car to demonstrate the principles of speed (velocity) and acceleration. The counter across bottom indicates the time elapsed (in seconds), the distance covered (in metres), the speed (in metres per second) and the acceleration (in metres per second squared). Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Over the first six seconds, the car accelerates to a speed of 20 metres per second (72 kilometres per hour). It starts to accelerate again at 10 seconds, reaching a top speed of 45 metres per second (162 kilometres per hour). By the time 23 seconds have elapsed, it has covered a kilometre (1000 metres) and is braking sharply, decelerating. By the time the animation ends and the car recedes into the distance, it is moving at 15 metres per second (54 kilometres per hour).
A montage of vintage and restored cars appear at an event held by the Classic Car Club of America including such prizes as a 1933 Chrysler Imperial built by LeBaron and a black 1929 British built Bentley sports model.

Race car physics. Animation of a race car, with arrows showing the force and physics involved, a topic known as classical mechanics (the science dealing with the motion of objects and and forces on objects). The arrows are colour-coded. The weight (dark blue) acts downwards from the centre of gravity of the race car. The reaction forces (orange) act upwards from the ground through the wheels of the race car. These two forces balance. The driving force of the engine (yellow) acts forwards. The forces of friction (red) act from the wheels against the forward motion. Similarly the air resistance (light blue) due to the car displacing air as it moves forward, acts against the forward motion. The forward speed of 60 metres per second (216 kilometres per hour) is caused by the driving force left after air resistance and friction (which are low for a race car) are subtracted.
