Retardation of Vehicle
Retardation of vehicle is the rate of decrease of velocity of a vehicle with respect to time, usually measured in meters per second squared.
Symbol: a
Measurement: AccelerationUnit: m/s²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Friction for Brake
Coefficient of Friction for Brake Retardation is a measure of the frictional force that opposes the motion of a vehicle, slowing it down during braking.
Symbol: μbrake
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Acceleration due to Gravity
Acceleration due to Gravity is the rate at which the velocity of an object decreases as it moves under the influence of gravity, slowing down the vehicle.
Symbol: g
Measurement: AccelerationUnit: m/s²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angle of Inclination of plane to Horizontal
Angle of Inclination of plane to Horizontal is the angle at which a plane is tilted from the horizontal surface, affecting the retardation of a vehicle.
Symbol: αinclination
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be between 0 to 90.
Perpendicular Distance of C.G
Perpendicular distance of C.G is the shortest distance from the centre of gravity of a vehicle to the point where it is pivoted during retardation.
Symbol: x
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance between Center of Rear and Front Wheels
Distance between Center of Rear and Front Wheels is the length between the center of the rear wheel and the center of the front wheel of a vehicle.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Height of C.G. of Vehicle
Height of C.G. of Vehicle is the vertical distance of the center of gravity from the ground level of a vehicle, affecting its stability and balance.
Symbol: h
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angle of Inclination
Angle of Inclination is the angle at which a vehicle's wheels are tilted backwards to slow down or retard its motion on an inclined plane.
Symbol: θi
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
