Other Variables
IMO........we are stil missing part of the real life application equation. Human skill/reaction time/added weight. Unless you can totally cumputerize the aspect of acceleration on a dyno/chassis dyno, you must take into account that a human person pressing an accelerator pedal will produce a variable each time. This is true for drag racing and 1/4 mile times. Human reaction time to the "tree" changing and the reactionary time it takes the brain to engage the foot on the accelerator.
So, again...unless you are working a computer model with fed calculations and variables, or you have a perfect controlled environmental study, there are variables that you are not taking into account in the equation that was give by your professor. I love this thread guys...LOL Jenn |
