Torquil,
Thanks for your response. And based on more reading I don't think momentum is the affecting factor but rather jerk (the 3rd derivative of position with respect to time). Let me take your scenario and see if I can't explain myself more clearly.
If we take the situation as you...
"The way I'm interpreting your claim is (and please correct me if I'm wrong): You claim that as the speed increases you should be able to get more traction, because of the momentum of the car." I wasn't clear here at all. Traction is constant, but when I climb my torque curve with RPM my...
" I have a car and it is accelerating wonderfully" yes that is a bit confusing. But what I meant is I take the actually torque curve specification of an actual engine convert it to a fifth degree polynomial and can calculate Torque N-m from rpm. Use a fourth-order rungetta to get a very accurate...
(video game) I have a car and it is accelerating wonderfully.
But I need to know when my acceleration is too great from my traction force and my tires should slip reducing acceleration.
Currently what I'm doing is calculating rotational force = EngineTorque * transmision gear ratio * rearend...
