2.1 Introduction to rolling resistance and drag
2.1.1 Balance of forces to which a vehicle is subjected
Tire rolling resistance is a force to which a tire is subjected when rolling. It is not instantly perceptible to the driver of a vehicle. In order to understand this concept, a simple example is described below.
To move yourself or an object, you have to make an effort, expend energy. For example, to move a wheelbarrow forward, you have to push it, i.e. exert effort. The greater the load...
