An automobile, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However, the term automobile is far from precise, because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.

There are approximately 600 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over 260 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China and India.

A. There are many, as in the above response. The question is what do you like to do? Mechanical deals with one area, while electrical deals with another. These are the two most common, others might include industrial and manufacturing, and some places have electro-mechanical programs.

What is the total distance travelled for an accelerating automobile?
Q. An automobile accelerates from rest at 2.6m/s^2 for 18 sec. The speed is then held constant for 15 sec, after which there is an acceleration of -2.9m/s^2 until the automobile stops. What is the total distance travelled?

A. Ok, iam assuming you know the equations of motion: v= u + at s=ut + 0.5at^2 v^2=u^2 + 2as s=((u+v)/2)t We need to break this motion up into seperate sections. Note however that all the units in this question are in SI units, so they are consistent with each other. You don't have kilometres which you would need to convert into metres for example, before using these equations. In that case I won't put in the units by the numbers in my calculations everytime, just to make it look clearer. But they are there and they are consistent. First section is from rest (u=0) accelerating at 2.6m/s^2 for 18s. We will find the displacement travelled here. We know u(initial velocity)=0, we know a(acceleration)= 2.6 and t=18 and we want s(displacement) [cont.]

What do you do at an automobile accident?
Q. I recently came upon a significant automobile accident on a rural but busy divided highway. Many pieces of the car were scattered on the road, and the car was totaled (front end collosion with embankment). Although it is unclear, the driver must have sustained some significant injury. The car was not on fire. My cell phone was out of range. Do you try to remove the body from the car?

A. u dont touch the guy at all, well you try and not too because unless your a doctor, theyll sue you butt if u try ur best n fail. best to find a house or flag someone else down with a mobile coverage to maybe get some help. if hes bleeding, try to stop it sure - but anything that involves removing items from the car u should try to avoid.
