    Force Distribution During Acceleration

    Uploaded by

    During acceleration, the driving force from the engine pushes the car forward while air resistance and drag force push back in opposition. Additional counteracting forces include friction between the wheels and road, as well as the reaction force from the ground balancing the weight of the car.

    Force Distribution during Acceleration

    Driving Force/ Engine Force/ Thrust

     The force that pushes the car forward


     When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a
    force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system.

    Air Resistance/ Drag Force

     Comes from air being pushed aside or flowing around surfaces such as the body of the car or
    the wing of an aircraft.

    Drag- the force that air exerts against the car as it moves.

    Lift- perpendicular force exerted by the air on the car.


    Friction

     Rolling contact between 2 surfaces, such as the wheel and the road.

    Reaction force And Weight

     When an object rests on a surface such as the ground, its weight is balanced by the reaction
    force from the ground. The ground pushes up against the object.
