"Need urgent help about car parts"

Can anyone direct me to a site wherecar brake pressure is explained. I need to find out what kind of brake pressure is standard in a 1000kg car for a maths prblem and somehow have to try and convert that into force (newtons)

Thanks.

Did I mention that it's probably not completly road legal and practically impossiblt to insure? No? Meh.

That might help you out.

I'm really missing those days when some things could be ignored in Physics :(

SOLD!!!

*sob* it donnae work? *sob sob*

That's why I got a C then, always missing out stupid factors and variables that come out of nowhere. And I remember back in A Levels we actually ignored these for simplicity... aaah I see.

I'm not sure that would work because the car is braking so i have to include the friction of the tarmac, plus the force will constantly change because the car is slowing down. Otherwise, your way would work.

Seriously though, I doh't think you need it. Just work out the max. speed of the car, multiply by the mass (1000kg) and you should have the force in newtons? Or is my A Level Physics too simple for ya?

Why don't you get a Talon Assault Vehicle, Emperor Bob? For £125,000 you get a bulletproof and fireproof body, a grenade launcher, tear gas, a massive hose, a flamethrower, run-flat tyres, a shocker and seats for 7 people, each with a hole for them to shoot a firearm out of. You also get a toilet and a fridge.

It'd be cheap secondhand. :)

Why not try the AA?

I'm not really an expert or anything, i think weight is not the only factor that is considered when determining how much break pressure is required. How powerful the car is is a major factor.
