Question:
And If you actually are traveling at 80mph into an 80 mph head wind Is your car really travelling at 160mph? Well thats the Theroy wonder if anyone can explain it. As (in the first part of the question) if you do 80mph You will Move forward............

Your confusing thrust force with resitence :O)Does the windshield on the car protect you from UV rays?
Your vehicle is travellign at 80MPH but exerting greater forward thrust (kinetic ??) that if it was doing 80 with no head wind.

As long as your card was powerfukl enough you could maintain the speed.

Also remember your car has an aerodynamic shape so the wind resistance wont be 80 mph.

no, but you may i'd imagine you'd be driving in a lower gear to maintain 80mph.
First part - no, second part - yes.
Did your car's security system do its job before?
Unlike air planes cars connect to the ground and 80mph is road speed not air speed "tires pushing the car foward". However driving into wind of 80 mph will make the true air speed of the car 160 mph. Turn around and travel 80 mph with a 80 mph tail wind you get better gas mileage and open your windows and it is calm out side and if you continue in that tail wind your car will overheat. Cars need wind blowing heat out of the radatior.Driving and Astrological signs = more or less accidents?
If your speedometer shows 80mph then surely you must be doing 80mph if you were standing still it would read 0mphthe amount that your vehicle would be slowed would be proportional to the amount of friction that is created.
The windspeed is of course a factor in the equation but so are many others
black taxis! does anybody know what that sticker on the front means?
put simply no.The force implied upon the car will not be sufficient to stop the car. Air is a gas and of low density the car is aerodynamically designed.

80 mph is a very strong wind and may be sufficient to create a lift force upon the car which is greater than the opposing gravity and aerodynamic downforce. i.e. it could pick it up, blow it over etc

Ways to better survive after a car crash?
When traveling in a car, the speed of the wind has nothing to do with calculating how fast you are traveling.Estimate the initial speed of that car assuming a level road.?
Miles per hour is calculation of how much distance traveled on the ground over a period of time. 80 miles distance is 80 miles, no matter if the wind is blowing or not. An hour is an hour no matter if the wind is blowing or not.

So even though the wind speed passing over the car is 180 MPH, the car will cover only 80 miles distance over the ground in an hour if traveling 80 miles an hour.
Are used tires safe for winter?
No, but you would get through a lot more fuel to maintain the speed.Who here is thinking of installing a video cam on their car?
No. In a car you'd be doing 80 mph. In an airplane you'd be standing still.What should I do if I zone out a lot while driving?
You will be doing 80 miles/hour, but the airflow onto the car will be 160 miles/hour.How can I tell why this is fully charged?
I think this is a wind up.
What do you look for in a tire? Comfort... Safety.....?
Who thinks of this crap? If you're driving at 80 MPH, you're driving at 80 MPH, regardless of the headwind. If the 80MPH headwind was another vehicle coming at you, your closure speed would be 160 MPH. But if you've got a car that can maintain 80 in that kind of wind, I want to know what it is!dangerous parking outside schools?
In the air you'd detect an airspeed of 160MPH, which is the speed the air is hitting the plane, but on the ground in a car 80MPH is the speed the wheels are turning at, which means unless they're squeling trying to keep moving then your doing 80MPH.I have a 94 nissan 300zx and was wondering if a newer nissan steering wheel would fit plug wise?
