Detalles de producto
- Revving engines, smoking tires, and high speeds. Car racing enthusiasts and race drivers alike know the thrill of competition, the push to perform better, and the agony―and dangers―of bad decisions. But driving faster and better involves more than just high horsepower and tightly tuned engines. Physicist and amateur racer Chuck Edmondson thoroughly discusses the physics underlying car racing and explains just what’s going on during any race, why, and how a driver can improve control and ultimately win.The world of motorsports is rich with excitement and competition―and physics. Edmondson applies common mathematical theories to real-world racing situations to reveal the secrets behind successful fast driving. He explains such key concepts as how to tune your car and why it matters, how to calculate 0 to 60 mph times and quarter-mile times and why they are important, and where, when, why, and how to use kinematics in road racing. He wraps it up with insight into the impact and benefit of green technologies in racing. In each case, Edmondson’s in-depth explanations and worked equations link the physics principles to qualitative racing advice.From selecting shifting points to load transfer in car control and beyond, Fast Car Physics is the ideal source to consult before buckling up and cinching down the belts on your racing harness.

Vehicle Design & Construction Editorial Review
** Fast Car Physics Illustrated Edition** The "Fast Car Physics Illustrated Edition" has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers, signifying its value as a resource for both enthusiasts and professionals in the automotive field. Many reviewers have expressed their appreciation for the book’s engaging and informative content. Users have noted that the book serves as an excellent replacement for outdated textbooks in engineering and chassis courses, helping to design new curriculums that integrate real-world applications of physics in racing. Its accessible writing style allows readers of varied expertise to grasp complex concepts, bridging the gap between theoretical physics and practical automotive design and performance. The content is rich in detail, covering critical aspects of automotive dynamics, powered by solid scientific foundations. Readers have highlighted their newfound understanding of concepts like acceleration, torque, and grip, alongside their importance in vehicle dynamics. The book balances technical depth with clarity, making even the most complex topics comprehensible. Reviewers emphasized the book's capability to transform perceived mundane classroom knowledge into fascinating real-world realizations that resonate with personal interests in cars and racing. However, the book is not without its critiques. Some users noted that it could benefit from expanded illustrations to enhance understanding of certain concepts. Additionally, a few found it lacking in coverage on braking systems, although this was not deemed a significant drawback by most. Despite these minor limitations, the Consensus remains that the "Fast Car Physics Illustrated Edition" is an invaluable investment for anyone keen on enhancing their understanding of automotive engineering. **
