Kia enhances the multilink front suspension with a stabilizer bar, helping keep the car flat when inertial forces want to pull it over.

The space shuttle is an ear - splitting, bone - rattling ride, beginning with eight minutes of inertial forces peaking at three g's (three times an individual astronaut's weight) followed by a near - instant, stomach - churning flip to zero gravity.

The equation predicts two regimes for the initial deformation of a droplet: a low - drop - velocity regime in which capillary forces dominate and a high - drop - velocity regime where inertial forces dominate; gravitational forces are insignificant for drops that are a few millimeters in size.

At low Reynolds numbers, Kim said, inertial forces become negligible, and viscous forces become dominant.

This method of construction is ideal for the V12 as it prohibits any undesirable free inertial forces and moments of inertia.

Part of the reason the engine is so smooth gets very technical and has to do with two counter-rotating shafts inside the engine that minimize inertial forces in the mid-to high - rpm ranges.

The suspension ably handled the turns at a reasonable speed, aided by a responsive power steering system, holding the car level against inertial forces.

Optional Curve Control tilts the entire car into a turn, so that passengers are pressed into their seats rather than being pushed up against the side bolsters by inertial force.

Its intake camshaft can be adjusted through 42 degrees for optimum cylinder charging and the two balancing shafts rotate at double the speed of the crankshaft to compensate for the second - degree inertial forces.

In urban stop - and - go driving, aerodynamic forces play little role, but rolling resistance and especially inertial forces are critical.

Like a six - cylinder engine, the three - cylinder unit is free of first and second - order inertial forces.

It leans just a bit when inertial forces are pulling at it in a corner, but that suspension keeps it from getting out of control.

The inertial force of custom prolonged the existence of religious observances: required chapel, behavioral discipline by church standards, pastoral activities such as YMCA centers.

The Reynolds number, the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces, is often used in engineering to predict whether flow conditions will be turbulent, a high Reynolds number, or laminar.

But, as he points out, if inertia depends on motion relative to the distant galaxies — so we can see where it comes from — why shouldn't the inertial forces be real?

Among other tepid effects, a pump sucked air out of the riders» seat cushions with an audible hiss — a ruse intended to simulate the inertial force that mashes astronauts back into their chairs during liftoff as their bodies resist the rocket's forward thrust.

This is because the diesel must operate at lower engine speeds due to the need for heavier, stronger parts to resist the operating pressure caused by the high compression ratio of the engine, which increases the forces on the parts due to inertial forces.

The Nissan GT - R was developed with a new understanding and appreciation of the Earth's natural forces — gravity, inertial force and aerodynamics — and translates those forces into a completely new design, maximizing tire grip and airflow.

The real magic happens in the suspension, keeping the X5 M remarkably steady in the turns and doing a fine job combatting the inertial forces attempting to keep this beast going in a straight line when you need it to corner.

In the turns, the air suspension proved its worth, fighting the inertial forces attempting to exploit suspension travel.

You pick from one of five «F - 1» cars (the names have been changed from the real F - 1 cars to protect Sega's pocketbooks), all of which have slightly varying turn radii, speed, and inertial force.

Hi - Speed raises your inertial force, making it more difficult to turn on a dime, while the Technical Circuit supposedly gives your car greater turnability.
