Vehicle Motion Resistance Types Explained

This document discusses the different types of resistance that affect a vehicle's motion: 1. Rolling resistance depends on vehicle weight and a constant related to road conditions like asphalt or gravel. 2. Air resistance increases with vehicle speed and frontal area. 3. Curve resistance increases with speed and decreases with a larger turning radius. 4. Grade resistance depends on vehicle weight and road grade. 5. Inertia resistance depends on vehicle weight and acceleration or deceleration. The total resistance affecting a vehicle equals the sum of these components and determines the required horsepower.

Vehicle motion
At this lecture we study types of the resistance applied on the vehicle during its motion:
1-Rolling resistance:-

Where:

Rr: the rolling resistance

K: constant from the given table.

W: weight of the vehicle

Uniform speed Badly Brocken Dry and well Loss sand


asphalt packed gravel
