Hi everybody I am an undergraduate mechanical engineering student and I am currently working on a project. I need to model the acceleration of a motorcycle from 0-100mph, taking into account road friction and drag friction, the gear ratios, power/torque curve etc. I am completely at a loss on how to do this, so I would appreciate any help I could get with this. It will be a simple flat surface so I just need a "time taken" from 0-100mph. I have the frontal area, wheel radius, power/torque curves against RPM, gear ratios etc. Also the vehicle mass and an estimated drag coefficient. Thanks in advance
F= ma. a= d^2x/dt^2 (second derivative of position) Integrate twice. QED. As a student take your confusion to your professors office hours, that is what he is there for.
