hi all, just wanted some advice on calculating a rate of deceleration of a moving vehicle, if we work out the angular acceleration of the wheel. so angular acceleration is dw/dt and is given as dw/dt=(m1-m2)/I (i.e moments of force divided by moments of Inertia) dw/dt is rad/s^2 and...

... lol, thanks for the replies, going a bit off the topic but... ill probably just use a variety of forces starting at about 100Ibf. jOn

... Im ok with the frictional forces for now, some sources say average foot force is 100Ibf but it seems a bit vague to use just one force measurement. if anyone has any suggestions for working this out mathematically please let me know, otherwise my best bet is to try and find a...

Car brake-pedal force... Hey all, im posting because i would like suggestions (preferably with proof) on how a relationship between initial velocity of a car, force to brake pedal and desired braking distance can be formulated. Assuming we know the velocity and the desired braking distance...
