Ahh, that makes sense now, how convenient of them! Cheers! :cool:

Thanks for clarifying that, it makes sense now. I may have some more questions later but for now this should keep me busy. Figuring out the programming in Visual Basic might be a bit harder though :-) One question relating to the friction though... and I know that you won't even get tyre...

Thanks for the welcome and quick reply. I am not sure that we would include air friction, but as you included a nice formula for me we may include it. As for the tire/road friction, I suppose that I would just need to vary the overall coefficient of friction based upon the input variables such...

Homework Statement Ok, well I feel this is a little beyond introductory physics, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm helping to create a program to simulate a car stopping based on input variables - road surface, Vi, tyre compound, mass, etc. I do however, need some equations to simulate this. So in most...
