mercedes

Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury automobile brand, part of the Daimler AG group. Its roots date back to 1886, with the creation of the "Benz Patent Motorwagen", the world's first automobile. The Mercedes brand was formalized in 1926, after the merger of the companies of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Today, Mercedes-Benz stands for innovation, elegant design and quality, and is also committed to electric mobility and autonomous driving technologies.

friction force

Friction opposes the motion of an object on a surface. There are three types: 1.Sliding friction force: opposes the movement between two surfaces in contact that slide over each other 2. Rolling friction force: occurs when two bodies that are not perfectly elastic roll, without sliding, one over the other. 3. Viscous friction force: acts on a body moving in a fluid

the uniform rectilinear motion

Uniform rectilinear motion (MRU) is a type of motion that describes the path of an object moving along a straight line with a constant speed. This type of movement is characterized by a linearity that facilitates path analysis. The hourly law that governs the MRU is expressed by the formula s = s0+v(t+t0) In this way, the role of speed as a constant of proportionality is highlighted, which determines the relationship between distance traveled and time taken.

Thank you for your attention!

1930s

The Mercedes-Benz 770, produced in the 1930s, is a luxury car with a 7.7-liter V8 engine and 230 HP, capable of reaching a top speed of 160 km/h. With a length of approximately 5.5 meters, it offers ample space and comfort. The drag coefficient is estimated at around 0.45, while the fluid and streamlined design reduces air resistance, improving efficiency and comfort while driving. The 770 represents a perfect combination of power and elegance, becoming an icon of its time.

1990s

In the 1990s, more attention was given to aerodynamics in new models. The Mercedes E-Class (W210), for example, had a top speed of 240 km/h in its most powerful versions, with engines up to 3.2 liters. The body design was optimized to reduce air resistance, with a drag coefficient of around 0.29. This improvement reflected the growing importance of a more sleek and aerodynamic design, which improved both performance and efficiency.

The Benz 14/30 PS from 1910 had a 4-cylinder engine with 3.6 liters that produced 30 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of 70 km/h. It was about 4.5 meters long and offered great luxury and comfort. The aerodynamics were not well developed, with a drag coefficient of around 0.60, typical of cars with tall and boxy shapes from that time.

1910s

1970s

During the 1970s, Mercedes focused on performance with models like the Mercedes S-Class (W116), but the attention began to shift to comfort and safety. Even so, some models had a top speed of over 220 km/h, powered by engines up to 4.5 liters. Aerodynamics was not yet a big priority, with a drag coefficient of around 0.42, reflecting the focus on strength and solid design over reducing air resistance.

1960s

In the 1960s, Mercedes introduced sporty models like the Mercedes 300SL, famous for its "gullwing" doors and high speed. With a top speed of 260 km/h, the 300SL was one of the fastest cars of its time, thanks to its 3.0-liter engine. Although the design was mostly focused on power, aerodynamics started to be important. The drag coefficient was around 0.38, showing the first efforts to reduce air resistance and improve high-speed performance.

A highly regarded high-end model, produced until 1924. It was equipped with a 7.2-liter, 6-cylinder engine, capable of generating up to 95 horsepower. It was considered one of the most powerful cars of the period and was used both for private purposes and in competitions. The drag coefficient was around 0.55, typical for the boxy, tall shapes of cars from that era.

1920s

1980s

the mercedes Benz Patent-Motorwagen, which was the first car ever made. It had three wheels and a 4-stroke engine that produced 0.75 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of 16 km/h. Although its aerodynamic design was not good (with a drag coefficient over 0.8), this car marked the beginning of motorized travel

Trail

The trail reduces the aerodynamic drag of the car following, allowing it to go faster whit less effort. However, it can compromise stability and handing

The Mercedes-Benz 170S, produced from 1950 to 1955, is a luxury car based on the earlier 170V model. It features a 4-cylinder engine of 1.8 liters producing 52 horsepower, with a top speed of about 130 km/h. Measuring around 4.5 meters, it offers ample space and comfort with an elegant design. The drag coefficient is estimated at 0.40, indicating a smooth design for its time. Known for its reliability and performance, the 170S was popular among wealthy families and for commercial use, such as taxis and wedding cars. Overall, it combined comfort, performance, and quality, enhancing Mercedes-Benz's reputation in the luxury car market.

1950s

The Drs reduces aereodynamic drag by opening a flap on the rear wing increasing speed on strights and making overtaking easier. It only works in specific zones and the rider is less then a second behind the rider in front.

DRS(drag reduction system)

The uniform rectiliniar moviment

The aeridynamic shape of formula 1 cars reduces air resistance, allowing smooth straight motion at high speeds. This design minimized opposing forces, using constants speeds on rectilinears

2010s

In the 2010s, aerodynamics became a key part of electric and hybrid car design. The Mercedes EQC, an electric SUV, is an example of how Mercedes pushed aerodynamic efficiency to new levels, with a drag coefficient of around 0.28. Despite its larger size compared to traditional sedans, the careful body design and airflow optimization allowed it to have competitive performance, with a top speed of 180 km/h limited by energy management.

2000s

In the 2000s, Mercedes focused on significant aerodynamic improvements, along with more engine power. The Mercedes S-Class (W221), with 5.5-liter engines in its AMG versions, could reach a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). The drag coefficient dropped to around 0.27, thanks to advanced design technologies, making the cars more efficient at high speeds, reducing air drag, and improving energy savings.

Wheel

F1 wheel have a high friction force so the cars to face the curve at high velocity and brake effectively.It's important to manage vertical load and wheel temperature for optimal performance.

1940s

The Mercedes-Benz W153 was introduced in 1938 as an updated version of the W143. It was designed as a mid-range car with a modern look for its time. It had a 6-cylinder engine of 2.3 liters, producing about 55-60 horsepower, and could reach a top speed of 116 km/h. The car was about 4.8 meters long, offering good comfort and reliability, making it a popular choice for luxury mid-sized cars.The drag coefficient (Cd) was around 0.48, with a rounded and smooth body to reduce air resistance.

1980s

In the 1980s, Mercedes made big progress in efficiency and aerodynamics. The Mercedes 190E, for example, had a top speed of around 230 km/h with a 2.3-liter engine, but one of its biggest successes was in its aerodynamic design. With an improved drag coefficient of around 0.32, the 190E marked a turning point in reducing air drag, allowing for better performance and fuel efficiency.

2020s

In the 2020s, Mercedes is focusing more on maximum aerodynamic efficiency for its top electric models, like the Mercedes EQS. This luxury electric sedan has a record drag coefficient of 0.20, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars ever produced. Its top speed is 210 km/h, showing that even with electric engines, high performance is still possible. The extremely refined aerodynamics help reduce energy consumption at high speeds, increasing the overall driving range.

1900s

the Mercedes 35 HP was created by Emil Jellinek. This car changed automotive design with a powerful 35 horsepower engine and a rear-wheel-drive system, which improved handling and stability. It could go up to 75 km/h and had a drag coefficient of about 0.6 to 0.7, making it the first Mercedes to had a big reputation
