Undergrad Lateral car velocity in a corner
Hello tiny tim No, I do don't think that it should be zero, though I might restate the question differently. In stead of a corner, since this might suggest constant angular velocity, picture a car changeing lanes on the highway. This would entail the forward velocity being somewhat... -

Undergrad Lateral car velocity in a corner
Hello The problem is a car going around a corner. The car is moving at a known but changing longitudal speed, the yawrate and steering angle is known as well. Is it possible to calculate the lateral velocity of the car without knowing the cornering stiffness?(road/tire friction coefficient)... -

Compensate for the displacement of an accelerometer measurement
Hello I want to measure the lateral acceleration at the center of gravity of a vehicle. I cannot place the accelerometer here since I cannot mount it properly so I have placed it 75 cm to the left of the CG. The longitudinal and and vertical placement is approximately correct. It there som...- rabun
