Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Horizontal Lateral Acceleration = Centripetal Acceleration during Cornering/Acceleration due to Gravity
A_α = a_c/g
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Horizontal Lateral Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Horizontal Lateral Acceleration is the acceleration of the vehicle's horizontal lateral movement, affecting the forces on steering system and axles during cornering or turning.
Centripetal Acceleration during Cornering - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Centripetal Acceleration during Cornering is the acceleration that keeps a vehicle's wheels and axles moving in a circular path while cornering or turning.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is the downward force exerted on the vehicle's axles, affecting the steering system's performance and overall vehicle stability.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Centripetal Acceleration during Cornering: 400 Meter per Square Second --> 400 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_α = a_c/g --> 400/9.8

Evaluating ... ...

A_α = 40.8163265306122

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

40.8163265306122 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

40.8163265306122 ≈ 40.81633 Meter per Square Second <-- Horizontal Lateral Acceleration

What is lateral acceleration during cornering?

Lateral acceleration during cornering is the acceleration experienced by a vehicle in the direction perpendicular to its motion, towards the center of the curve or turn. It results from the centripetal force needed to keep the vehicle moving along the curved path and is felt by passengers as a sideways force pushing them outward from the turn. Lateral acceleration depends on the vehicle's speed and the tightness (radius) of the turn.

How to Calculate Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car?

Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car calculator uses Horizontal Lateral Acceleration = Centripetal Acceleration during Cornering/Acceleration due to Gravity to calculate the Horizontal Lateral Acceleration, Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car formula is defined as a measure of the rate of change of velocity of a vehicle as it turns a corner, which is influenced by the centrifugal force and the frictional force between the tires and the road surface. Horizontal Lateral Acceleration is denoted by A_α symbol.

How to calculate Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car, enter Centripetal Acceleration during Cornering (a_c) & Acceleration due to Gravity (g) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Lateral Acceleration during Cornering of Car calculation can be explained with given input values -> 40.91837 = 400/9.8.
