    Equations of Motion Homework: 4-Wheel Car in Computer Game

    Homework Statement A simple car with 4 wheels for use in a computer game. Front wheels turn only. Derive the equations of motion for the car. Car is controlled by setting its speed s, and steering angle phi. The forward Euler method is used to compute the forward kinematics. At time t...

    Forward euler equations of motion

    Hi, I forget to attach the image, but I've attached it now. Yes I presume the change of orientation is related to the steering angle. But how did they get the forward kinematic equations on page 3 of this paper? http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/staff/hhu/Papers/Journal-RAS-39-3.pdf

    Forward euler equations of motion

    Homework Statement Hi, I'm trying to compute the equations of motion for a car as shown in the attached image. α = steering angle θ = orientation of the car relative to the world coordinate system Say you're given the linear velocity v and the steering angle α. How do you compute...

    Forward euler calculations for position and orientation

    Hi, I'm trying to compute the equations of motion for a car as shown in the attached image. α = steering angle θ = orientation of the car relative to the world coordinate system Say you're given the linear velocity v and the steering angle α. How do you compute the position and angle...

    How Does an Impulse Affect the Motion of a Cube?

    I'd be grateful if someone could help me with the problem below: A free-floating uniform cube with sides of length 2 is at rest, aligned with the coordinate axes, when it is subjected to an impulse along one edge of 3m, where m is its mass. What is the effect on its motion? (Its inertia...
