What is the Principle of Car Movement?
1 Answers
The torque from the engine is transmitted through the drivetrain to apply a driving torque on the drive wheels, attempting to rotate them. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Driving Resistance: During movement, a car is subjected to various driving resistances. When driving at a constant speed on a level road, the car must overcome the rolling resistance from the ground and the air resistance from the atmosphere. 2. Uphill Resistance: When driving uphill on a slope, the car must also overcome the component of gravity along the slope, known as uphill resistance. When accelerating, the car needs to overcome its inertial force, referred to as acceleration resistance.
