Weight Distribution, Traction, Braking Flashcards
Draw a FBD of a car while stationary
What is the formula for force load on the front of the vehicle, and the rear of the vehicle. What assumptions are made?
what is the difference between traction and friction
friction is the resistance against the direction of motion between two surfaces
traction is friction that prevents slipping and controlled movement
what the equation that calculates maximum traction on the front and rear tires
What does it depend on
Draw the FBD of a car under breaking
What is the weight on the front and rear tires when a car is breaking, what assumptions are made.
How do you calculate the maximum breaking force
what is the equation that calculates optimum front to rear braking ratio, when both wheels are locked
Assume the ground is flat, and air resistance is negligible. Find the weight on the front and the rears on a breaking car
what is the maximum deacceleration of a car with negligible air resistance and locked fronts.
what is the maximum deacceleration of a car with negligible air resistance and locked rears.
find the max deacceleration when both wheels are locked.
What is the formula for breaking efficacy , Explain what it is
What is the formula for mass in terms of weight and gravity for breaking equations
derive the equation to calculate stopping distance
what conditions are there if the stopping distance is minimum
describe what occurs when the rear tires lock under breaking
describe what occurs when front tires lock first
