 DRAG

 Drag is an aerodynamic force opposing the direction of

motion. Drag can be due to surface viscosity(friction drag),

pressure difference due to the shape of an object(form drag),

drag acting on a induced wing(induced wing).

 THRUST

 THRUST IS THE FORCE GENERATED BY THE POWER HOUSE OF

THE CAR (ENGINE) USE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IN DESIRED

DIRECTION .
 WEIGHT

 THIS IS FORCE ACTING ON THE VEHICLE IN DOWNWARD

DIRECTION BECAUSE OF THE SELFWEIGHT.

 LIFT OR DOWN FORCE

 THESE ARE THE FORCES BECAUSE OF THAT VEHICLE TRY TO LEAVE

THE GROUND OR MAKE THE CONTACT WITH THE ROAD DURING THE

MOTION.

 THESE FORCES ARISES BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE ON

THE UPPER AND LOWER SURFACE OF THE BODY.

 CONTINUITY EQUATION

The equation of continuity states that for an incompressible fluid flowing in a tube

of varying cross-section, the mass flow rate is the same everywhere in the tube.
 BERNOULLI'S EQUATION

 ACC. TO BERNOULI’S THEOREM THE SUM OF KINETIC ENERGY ,

PRESSURE ENERGY AND POTENTIAL ENERGY OF A MOVING FLUID
ALWAYS REMAINS CONSTANT.
