Information

This model demonstrates the coupling between rotational and translational components:
A torque (step) accelerates both the inertia (of the wheel) and the mass (of the vehicle).
Due to a speed dependent force (like a driving resistance), we find an equilibrium at 5 m/s after approx. 5 s.
