Calculation Results

 

Basic Data

Vehicle Weight =      kgf

Vehicle Speed =       km/h

 

Rolling Resistance

 

Coefficient of rolling resistance,  Cr  

Calculated Force to Overcome Rolling Resistance =  0.0  kgf

 

Gradient Climbing

 

Hill Gradient, 1 in   

Angle of Slope =  0.0  Degrees

Calculated Force to Push Vehicle up Slope =   0.0  kgf

 

Aerodynamic Drag

 

Drag Coefficient, Cd     

Vehicle Frontal Projected Area =   0.000   m^2

Air Density     kg/m^3    

Calculated Force to Overcome Drag =   0.0   kgf

 

Vehicle Acceleration

 

Representative change in speed     km/h

With time taken to achieve this speed change      seconds

Calculated Acceleration =  0.00  m/s^2

Calculated Force to Accelerate Vehicle Mass =  0.0  kgf

 

Additional Applied Force

 

External Force, 0.0  kgf

 

Total Vehicle Drive Force is  0.0  kgf,  giving a drive power of  0  Watts at the vehicle speed of   0.00 m/s.

With a drive efficiency of  % the motor/engine output power required is  NaN  Watts.

(Remember - use these results intelligently and with caution - they are only as good as your data and the simplified method allows. If you have problems with the calculator please let me know so that I can fix it.)
