Resistance Force : Ra
The major components of the resisting forces to motion are
comprised of :
Aerodynamic loads (Faero)
Acceleration forces (Faccel = ma & I forces)
Gradeability requirements (Fgrade)
Chassis losses (Froll resist ).

The typical modern automobile achieves a drag coefficient of between 0.30 and
0.35.
SUVs, with their flatter shapes, typically achieve a C d of 0.350.45.
Notably, certain cars can achieve figures of 0.25-0.30, although sometimes
designers deliberately increase drag in order to reduce lift.
0.7 to 1.1 - typical values for a Formula 1 car (downforce settings change for
each circuit)
0.7 - Caterham Seven
at least 0.6 - a typical truck
0.57 - Hummer H2, 2003
0.51 - Citron 2CV
over 0.5 - Dodge Viper
0.44 - Toyota Truck, 1990-1995
Rolling Resistance
Composed primarily of
1. Resistance from tire deformation (90%)
2. Tire penetration and surface compression ( 4%)
3. Tire slippage and air circulation around wheel ( 6%)
4. Wide range of factors affect total rolling resistance
5. Simplifying approximation:

ROLLING RESISTANCE
Rolling resistance of a body is proportional to the weight of
the body normal to surface of travel.
