lateral acceleration — The acceleration created when a vehicle corners that tends to push a vehicle sideways. Because of centrifugal force, the vehicle is pushed outward. For this reason, you need to accelerate a little as you reach the apex of the curve to pull you… … Dictionary of automotive terms
lateral acceleration switch — Similar to a lateral acceleration sensor, but the switch provides a simple on off signal, rather than the variable voltage signal provided by the sensor … Dictionary of automotive terms
lateral acceleration sensor — A device that signals the ECU when the vehicle is being subjected to high g force from a turn; the signal voltage varies according to the amount of g force … Dictionary of automotive terms
acceleration — of a point is the time rate of change of the velocity of the point. centripetal acceleration lateral acceleration longitudinal acceleration normal acceleration side acceleration vehicle acceleration … Mechanics glossary
acceleration — The rate of change of velocity or speed. Velocity is steady and is measured in distance per time (e.g., feet per second, miles per hour, kilometres per hour). Acceleration keeps increasing and is measured in velocity per time (e.g., feet per… … Dictionary of automotive terms
vehicle acceleration — the vector quantity expressing the acceleration of a point in the vehicle relative to the Earth fixed axis system (x,y,z). The following motion variables are components of this vector, resolved with respect to the moving vehicle axis system:… … Mechanics glossary
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — This article is about progressive Motor Neuron Disease (MND) affecting both the upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons. For MND affecting either but not necessarily both, see Motor neurone disease. ALS redirects here. For other uses, see ALS … Wikipedia
Orders of magnitude (acceleration) — This page lists examples of the acceleration occurring in various situations. They are grouped by orders of magnitude. Factor [m/s²] Multiple Value [G] Item 100 1 m/s² 0 m/s² 0 G The gyro rotors in Gravity Probe B and the free floating proof … Wikipedia
tire lateral load transfer — the vertical load transfer from one of the front tires (or rear tires) to the other that is due to acceleration, rotational, or inertial effects in the lateral direction … Mechanics glossary
Understeer and oversteer — Understeer: the car does not turn enough and leaves the road. Oversteer: the car makes the tu … Wikipedia
