Hi Jack, I'm willing to use torque, to be fair. I've got the electric motor modeled. I have the torque curve across the whole RPM range of the electric motor that propels the vehicle and the drivetrain ratio, so I know the total torque available at the driven wheels. In that case, I'll guess I...

I was indeed missing the 1 / R factor, but I can't figure out the meaning, tho. If we know that Torque = I * a, and so, that Force = Torque / r, then the why woldn't it be correct for the first term to be ## \frac {T \m 2 I a} {r}, ## And the second: ## \frac { 2 I a} {r} ##

Hello mate. I was out of town for a couple of days and just come back to continue with my work. I I'd correctly understood everything, the first equation gives me the torque with which the inertia of the wheel is resisting the change in motion. That torque divided by the length of the arm...

What would be the procedure then?

I was modeling the dynamics of a vehicle for a project, and started doubting about the way of applying physics in this particular case. The thing is, I know the torque in the wheels from the torque the electric motor I designed do provide, multiplied by the gearbox ratio. I also know the...
