Question 1: How does the center of pressure affect the stability of a vehicle at high speeds?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It determines the aerodynamic stability by affecting the balance between lift and drag

It has no impact on stability, only on fuel efficiency

It controls the lateral acceleration during cornering

It affects the car's ground clearance at high speeds

Question 2: What is the relationship between lift and downforce in terms of vehicle stability at high speeds?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Lift and downforce both increase stability

Downforce increases stability and reduces lift

Lift increases stability by reducing drag

Downforce increases stability by adding weight

Question 3: How does the rear windshield angle of a vehicle affect the drag coefficient (Cd) and lift at high speeds?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

A flatter angle reduces drag and lift

A steeper angle increases drag and lift

A flatter angle increases drag but reduces lift

A steeper angle reduces drag but increases lift
