Why does the car still go so fast when the clutch is fully depressed?

Because the previous state was acceleration, fully depressing the clutch means the power supply is cut off. However, on flat ground or downhill, the car will first deplete the acceleration from the previous process before it starts to decelerate. Here is some related knowledge about depressing the clutch: 1. Principle: It's quite simple, it's about the interaction of forces. Before depressing the clutch, the gear output force drives the wheels forward, providing both forward momentum and resistance since the wheels are connected to the gear. When the clutch is depressed, although the power is cut off, the resistance is also eliminated. Therefore, on relatively flat roads, there might be a temporary speed increase. If going downhill, the car will roll even faster, but coasting downhill is too dangerous and should be avoided. 2. Clutch Introduction: The function of the clutch is to disconnect the engine from the wheels. In other words, fully depressing the clutch means the engine is idling, and the wheels receive no driving force. When starting, depressing the clutch completely separates the engine from the wheels, and the car won't move as the engine idles. At high speeds, when the throttle is not pressed, the engine is actually being turned by the wheels. Depressing the clutch at this time removes the engine's resistance.
