why do all cars slightly move forward when your foot is on neither the gas nor the break?
In: Engineering
In true ELI5 fashion:
Even when no pressure is put on the gas peddle, a small amount of power is still being produced by the engine and this power is attempting to move the car forward. When the brake is pressed it is able to overcome the power of the engine and keep the car stationary. When both peddles are not pressed, the small amount of power coming from the engine makes the car crawl forward.
This explanation doesn’t use any words a 5 year old wouldn’t understand such as automatic, manual, transmission, torque converter, clutch, ect.
