Effects Of Change In Tire Pressure Upon Efficiency Of A Vehicle, Haider Ali Khan Jan 2019

Effects Of Change In Tire Pressure Upon Efficiency Of A Vehicle, Haider Ali Khan

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two

The objective of this paper is to compare the difference in the efficiency of acceleration, of a 2018 Audi A8, in two distinct scenarios where the tire pressure is kept at a maximum and partial level. The approach towards solving the issue is multi-faceted, the efficiency is dependent on the difference in the time it takes for the car to accelerate, thus to obtain the elapsed time, the foundational basis is set by the relations between Torque/Force, and RPM/Speed of the vehicle. All the calculations are completed by using the data extracted from the car’s specifications set (Automobile Catalog). Newton’s …

Elapsed Time Of Vehicle Acceleration, Jensen Mctighe

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two

Newton’s Second Law states that force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration. More specifically, force is the mass times the instantaneous change in velocity over time of an object. By rearranging this equation, it can be determined that the time elapsed of the acceleration of an object is equal to the integral of the inverse value of the force relative to change in velocity (dv). In the context of real world application, this method can be used to calculate the time taken for a vehicle to accelerate from its minimum to maximum speed, given …
