On the road, you should never drive over what percent of
90-95%. Leave room for mechanical and human error
your ability?
relaxed A driver is the best driver on the road
Technique over speed What is better, speed or technique?
The study of vehicles in motion. What are vehicle dynamics?
First Law.
Every body at rest tends to remain at rest, while every body
in motion tends to remain in motion in a straight line until What is the 1st law of Newtonian Law?
acted upon by unbalance external force.
This is also known as inertia or centrifugal force.
The acceleration of a body is proportional to the froce
applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the
body.
What is the 2nd law of Newtonian Law?
This is the law of acceleration.
The force exerted on an object is equal to its mass times
acceleration. F = ma.
Intertia or centrifugal force What is the 1st Newtonian Law also known as?
The law of acceleration What is the 2nd Newtonian Law also known as?
For every action force there is an equal and opposite re-
action force. This is the law of the conservation of energy: What is the 3rd Newtonian Law?
Momentum.
Momentum What is the 3rd Newtonian law also known as?
Force What word is used in each of Newton's Laws of Motion?
Energy that causes or alters motion What is force?
, Centrifugal force, centripetal force, inertia, momentum,
What are the types of force?
velocity, gravity, friction.
As a vehicle travels around a corner, there is an increase
in centrifugal force which IMPELS AN OBJECT OUTWARD What is centrifugal force? (first newtonian law)
FROM THE CENTER OF ROTATION.
The OPPOSITE of centrifugal force, pushing the object
toward the center.
What is centripetal force?
Characterized by the vehicle's ability to maintain its intend-
ed path while cornering.
RESISTANCE to motion, action, or change. What is intertia? (First newtonian law)
The greater the speed or mass, the more time and dis-
What is momentum? (Third newtonian law)
tance needed to effect a stop.
The rate of change of position relative to time. Speed of
motion in a particular direction. Velocity is a vector quality,
having both magnitude and direction. What is velocity?
Velocity forumula: V = S x 1.47.
F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration) What is the forumla for acceleration/force?
V = S x 1.47 (Velocity = speed x 1.47) What is the forumla for velocity?
The constant pull of the earth.
What is gravity?
g = 32.2fps(squared)
G = 32.2fps(squared) What is the formula for gravity?
The force between two bodies that resists motion.
1.) Sliding friction - tires locked and sliding on the road What is friction?
