Answer 1

Answer on one note/ canvas

Question 2

Derive the equation for low-speed acceleration on level ground for the reaction force at the rear wheel.

Answer 2

Nr = Nrs + max h/l

Question 3

Derive the equation for stationary on an incline for the reaction force at the rear wheel.

Answer 3

Nr = Nrs + Mgsin (angle) h/l -apparently

Question 4

Derive the equation for the stationary and level distribution of mass to front and rear wheels.

Answer 4

Nrs = mgd/l

Question 5

Explain what mass factor is in relation to the acceleration capacity of a vehicle.

Question 6

Explain how rolling resistance is generated and its defintion.
