ABSTRACT
This and the following three chapters apply concepts and developments of the previous chapters to the motion of ground vehicles. We study forces that act on vehicles, as well as the ensuing motions. A vehicle can accelerate, decelerate, bounce up and down, or acquire an angular velocity, such as yaw, pitch, or roll. While the general motion of a vehicle is three-dimensional, we can, for an initial study, separate these motions and analyze them independently.
