physics of DRIFTING *need help for school*

[darius_tii]

hello
I have a school project in my physics class where we are doing the "physics of..." andything of your choice, and ofcourse Drifting is the first thing taht popped in my mind and my teacher is really excited about it too..

I know there is TONS of thigns to do with physics about it and i have some starting ideas (friction, cenrifugul forces, stuff like that) but i was wondering if anyone else would help me.. if you have any ideas or thoughts they would all be helpful!

THANKS guys!!:bigok:

Kids burning up tires, clutches, motors, etc.

lateral G's, get some rubber balls and make a gravity ball tester like in "driftbible" lol.....record it use it for ur presentation....

If you can't think off the top of your head some of the basic physics involved in sliding a car, then this is going to be beyond you.

sorry

Center of gravity... learn about it.

Quick question OP, do you drift. And I mean like actually drift and not fishtail a wet pavement corner and call that drifting. I'm not dissing you or anything. But I'm sure it's easier to understand once you have actually done it.

Hold on D i think i can vouch for you. My brodii was runner up for drift battle last event. I believe this man knows about sliding..

Awesome, then I'm sure he has plenty of experience of how it actually feels when your drifting. Perhaps you should show some in car video shoot and outside shots as a demo for your class along with the paper so that people can see what it really is like as the car in motion.

Force vectors.

Jedi Force Powers.

Maybe Sith, if you're good enough.

Acceleration, weight transitioning, trajectory, weight transference.

decceleration, kinetic and potential principles, frictional type stuff can't remember the exact terms, google its your friend...

just buy drift bible and show that
