Thanks..looks clear then.

To sum it all up - can we state unequivocally that factor '2' is a mistake in the final formula in this thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/accelerating-a-car-including-the-moment-of-inertia-of-the-wheels.930374/ and if yes, why it happened to be there? I can't really figure it out..

jbriggs444, I appreciate Your help and the explanation. Thank You. I'm sorry for the bitmaps within the post but it's my first thread and I do not know yet how to properly write down formulas on the forum as You did. Anyways, the whole equation is copied from another thread I linked up in my...

Andrewkirk, You said to 'multiply by the first gear ratio'. Assuming we will be using at least two gears to accelerate from 0-100, shouldn't it be multiplied by the first two gears, not the first one only? I my above formula correct then?

Ok, thanks, that was my initial thought. To be able to solve this problem, I found this. nw stands for the number of wheels being driven which I'll discuss in the end. If I understand right - total acceleration force does not depend on the number of wheels being driven and it breaks down into...

Hi, I found this interesting thread, https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/accelerating-a-car-including-the-moment-of-inertia-of-the-wheels.930374/ but as it has been closed to replies, I decided to ask here. The thread ended up with the equation: where τ - 200Nm engine torque provided on...

Just wanted to say hello! :D
