Describe Newton’s first law of motion and give an application of this law in automotive theory.
Newton’s first law of motion with an application in terms of automotive theory.
Answer to Problem 1SA
Newton’s first law of motion or Newton’s law of inertia: “Every object in its state of rest or uniform motion(Acceleration is zero) in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it”.
Explanation of Solution
When an object is in rest or motion, that object will always be in rest or motion until an external force work on that object.
Example: Assume a car is in rest, the car will be in rest until the force applied. Now the car is moving, and this car will be moving until the force applied on it.
Conclusion:
Newton’s first law of motion is working every condition when any object is in rest or trying to rest.

- Explain Newtons second law of motion and give an example of how this law is used in automotive theory.arrow_forwardChoose the best answer and explain it An engineer wants to design an improved elevator for a building. The original design used a motor that could lift 1000 kg through a distance of 20 meters in 30 seconds. The engineer wants a motor that can lift 800 kg through a distance of 30 meters in 20 seconds. Compared to the old motor, the new motor __________. Explain your answer. (A) Should exert a force of the same magnitude, but must provide larger power output (B) Should exert a force of a larger magnitude, and must provide a larger power output (C) Can exert a force of a smaller magnitude, and can provide a smaller power output (D) Can exert a force of a smaller magnitude, but must provide the same power output (E) Can exert a force of a smaller magnitude, but must provide a larger power output.arrow_forward(а) Briefly describe the advantages of having a vehicle which is streamlined compared to a non-streamlined body.arrow_forward

- Scenario 1 Your boss, Melon Usk, wants you to determine the acceleration of his new car. The details of the car are as follows: The car's total mass is 1500 kg The motor outputs a constant torque of 300 Nm The drive train has a gear ratio of 10:1 to the drive axle Prior to any gearing, the motor and drivetrain have a moment of inertia of 0.5 kg m². The four tires are 0.6 m in diameter. A single set of final gear, drive axial, and tire has combined moment of inertia of 0.6 kg m². Not knowing how to proceed, you e-mail your favourite ex-instructor, Frank. He is very busy but draws you the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● Motor ● FT+ IM = 0.5 kg. m² TIN = 300Nm TIN Final Gear + Wheel Wheel RG Final Gear C Rw Fw Iw = 4(0.6 kg m²) = 2.4kg. m² RG = 10R Rw = 0.3m Car Fw m = 1500kg y x Frank also notes the following: You can treat all four tires, axels, and final gears as a single entity. The moments of inertia will add together but the radius will remain the same.
