Beginner's Guide to Automotive Mechanics: Inertia, Energy, & Torque

AI Thread Summary
Lokesh seeks resources to understand automotive concepts, particularly inertia, energy, and torque in engines. He confirms familiarity with fundamental automobile operations, including engine and fuel systems. A participant suggests clarifying his specific interests in inertia, highlighting the relationship between energy and torque, and providing formulas for power in relation to angular speed and torque. Links to relevant e-books and forums are shared to assist Lokesh in building his foundational knowledge in automotive mechanics.

hey...this is lokesh. I am really interested in automobiles but the problem is that i am a beginner. I am just not able to apply the concepts of inertia energy and torque on engines. Can you please suggest me any e-books or links which would help me clear my basics? Please reply asap. Desperate to start on.

Do you know the fundamentals of automobile operation, such as engine, ignition, fuel system, exhaust, cooling system, charging system, etc?
 
Yes i do.

Then someone else will have to help you. If you were just a beginner, I was going to suggest Stokel.

Welcome Lokesh. Please specify the aspects of inertia in which you're interested (mass, momentum, kinetic energy, acceleration). Energy and torque of a motor are interrelated. Energy is work (force x distance). Power is the rate at which energy is produced or consumed (force x distance / time).

Power = angular speed * torque

[power] = watts (W)
[speed] = radians per second (rad/s)
[torque] = Newton-metres (N-m)
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
