I am inventing a product which can in short be descibed as a 24V electrical vehicle which will transport itself along a special track, and I am unsure how to calculate how much torque my DC motor will need.
Car total weight: 100 kilograms
Required acceleration: 0.8 m/s per second (or 0.06 G)
Maximum uphill slope: 5%
Is this the correct formula to use: 6 Nm = 100kg * 0.06G
That can't be right..?
Do I also need to calculate tire friction or would that be marginal?
The speed will be less than 10 m/s (36 km/h).
I have searched for an online calculator page for these things but found none. I would appreciate any help with this embarrasingly simple question.
