I am working with a hybrid car which charges a bank of ultracaps from regen braking. I read an article which I believe was written by someone who is misinformed, but it had me thinking... Just to clarify some theory about charging voltage, Scenario Max ultracap voltage= 14V Current...

Thanks for the quick responses! This is the output prompt and my excel sheet. You can see that the distance is the factor which is off. Very true, but at the bottom of the calculations it gives me the information I'm looking for. Time it took to accelerate from 15-32 with 25 hp and 140...

Hi Simon, On the first website, my acceleration value and force values match, but the distance value is off by a magnitude of roughly three. When following their standard formula, my distance value is replicated. Why their's is different, I do not know. The second website does not demonstrate...

I am working on an engineering project for college and have run into an unexpected wall. I thought that my approach would work, but I'm not sure if I am getting reliable results and wanted to check on the proper method. I am trying to calculate how long it would take a mass to accelerate...
