An excersize in the analysis of GPS data. The Dynamics of Autocrossing Youtube Video of the course.
Data Analysis dx from minutes longitude: PI/(60*180)*cos(phi)*SQRT((a^4*cos(phi)^2+b^4*sin(phi)^2)/((a*cos(phi))^2+(b*sin(phi))^2)) a = 6,378,137 m ; b = 6,356,752.3 m dy = 1849 meters / latitudinal minute First method: Basic kinematic equations: dx /dt = vx and dv / dt = ax Second method: vfx^2 = vix^2 + 2ax(dx) Both methods would be used to find the tires frictional coefficient: Ff = N * mu; N = mg; Ff =ma; mu = a/g
Resulting Errors (continued) Acceleration and Frictional Errors: First Method: Max Acceleration: 86.64167 m/s^2 Max mu: 8.840987 Second Method: Max Acceleration: 425.6648 m/s^2 Max mu: 43.43519 Where we were Where it said we were
