The Physics of Braking Systems By James Walker‚ Jr. of scR motorsports Copyright © 2005 StopTech LLC Author’s disclaimer: mechanical systems operating in the physical world are neither 100% efficient nor are they capable of instantaneous changes in state. Consequently‚ the equations and relationships presented herein are approximations of these braking system components as best as we understand their mechanizations and physical attributes. Where appropriate‚ several examples of limiting conditions

In this part of Lesson 2‚ we will focus on the first type of problem - sometimes referred to as horizontally launched projectile problems. Three common kinematic equations that will be used for both type of problems include the following: Equations for the Horizontal Motion of a Projectile The above equations work well for motion in one-dimension‚ but a projectile is usually moving in two dimensions

frictionless environment‚ enabling the system of masses to move without an applied force or a frictional force. This experiment will measure the motion of an air cart attached to a known mass by string moving on an air track using kinematics and dynamics concepts. The kinematics concept of uniform accelerated motion and the dynamics concepts of Newton’s Second Law and systems of masses will be used. The equations relating to these concepts are: d ⃑= (v_i ) ⃑t+ 1/2 a ⃑t^2 and F_net=ma ⃑ . The accepted

galaxy‚ and that galaxy’s migration relative to other galaxies. Dynamics is the study of the relationships between motion and forces. One of its branches is Kinematics‚ which is the lesson for this experiment‚ is a branch of mechanics that consists of the study of motion without considering the forces that cause or develop the motion. Kinematics can be described in terms of space and time. Motion is the action of changing position. The aspects of motion are time‚ position‚ displacement‚ velocity and

Seismic stability of embankments on soft soils has been addressed by many researchers in the past with approximation for pseudo-static condition with and without reinforcement but based on consideration of axial pull in the reinforcement. The kinematics of deformation of typical failure of reinforced embankment dictates oblique pull in the reinforcement due to sliding mass. This oblique pull mobilizes additional normal stresses resulting in higher shear resistance and addition normal force than
