Question

What is the traction force needed to keep a 1m s2 acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

1500N traction force

Explanation:

This is the speed/force curve for the same car with 0% gradient and zero acceleration. Since the mass of the car is 1500kg, for every 1m/s2 acceleration, an extra 1500N traction force from the powertrain would be required.
