    :) Thanks man

    Acceleration of vehicle when given torque to the wheels

    so I have the right idea of taking the torque/wheel radius which I then would divide by the mass to get the vehicle acceleration? Units being m/s^2?

    Acceleration of vehicle when given torque to the wheels

    my professor said using F=ma is fine for torque but does that mean that I show torque as Nm or do I have to some how convert it to N by dividing Nm by the radius of the wheels, to use as the force?

    Acceleration of vehicle when given torque to the wheels

    do you know if I am somewhat on the right track at least? I think I am mixed up with the F/m=a units... but I don't know really how to work with the radius... I am really trying to figure this out as quick as possible but I am trying to get another physics project done so if you could give me...

    Acceleration of vehicle when given torque to the wheels

    the wheels have a radius of 0.3048meters

    Acceleration of vehicle when given torque to the wheels

    Acceleration of vehicle when given torque to the wheels... Ok so I am trying to figure out the acceleration of a vehicle that has a maximum of 381ft lbs of torque.With a mass of roughly 1700kg. If I use the formula f=ma, a=f/m and if I convert ft lbs to Nm its roughly 517/1700=.30m^2/s^2...
