How does the G-Timer Vehicle Performance Meter know the speed and distance?
The G-Timer Vehicle Performance Meter tracks acceleration forces over time, and from this continuously calculates speed and distance. For accuracy, it tracks all these items approximately 200 times per second. Here’s a simplified explanation of how the system works: For this simplified example, we’ll assume a G-Timer Vehicle Performance Meter that performs calculations only once per second. We’ll also assume that our car can accelerate with a force of 0.45G. An acceleration of 1 G means that car would accelerate at 32.2 feet per second per second, which is about 22 mph per second. (That means, from a standing start, after one second, the car would be going 22 mph. After two seconds it would be going 44 mph, etc.) In our example the car accelerates at 0.45G, which is about 10 mph per second. So, let’s look at the 1st second of our timed run: We were going 0 mph at the beginning of that second, and we were going 10 mph at the end of that second. So our average speed during that second wa
