Car Motion Simulation
Forces Acting on the Car:
- Weight Force (P): Vertical downward ↓
- Normal Force (N): Vertical upward ↑
- Driving Force (F): Horizontal →
- Friction Force (f): Opposes motion
Fundamental Equations:
Newton's Second Law:
\[ \sum \vec{F} = m\vec{a} \]
where:
sum of forces
m: mass
a: acceleration
Velocity Equation:
\[ v = at + v_0 \]
where v is final velocity, v₀ initial velocity, a acceleration, t time
Position Equation:
\[ x = \frac{1}{2}at^2 + v_0t + x_0 \]
where x is position, x₀ initial position, v₀ initial velocity, a acceleration, t time
