We have made some tweaks to our frontal area physics model which brings your avatar closer to the reality of outdoor conditions, as it takes the size of the rider’s frontal area more into consideration. If we compare an 80 kg (176 lbs) rider to a 60 kg rider (132 lbs) over a 90 km (56 miles) flat course, when producing constant and same power, the difference is 7 minutes in reaching the finish line. Note some evidence for the new calculation model tests. It does make sense, as a smaller rider will have less resistance against the wind or air in general. The difference is most prominent on a flat course or when going downhill. While riding, riders with a larger frontal area need to produce more power to achieve the same speed as lighter riders. The frontal area affects the resistance your body has against the opposing forces such as air resistance or wind. Two of the parameters, amidst others that affect how fast you are going on your bike, are your WEIGHT and HEIGHT - or together, your frontal area. Also, the training equipment-in-use affects your indoor road feel significantly as it has hardware simulation limitations of its own. It’s needless but important to say that based on various factors like the basic physical equations, the speed modeling in real life, and of course, the simulation of it on ROUVY, it is a bit of both, a scientific and a mathematical challenge. So far we have met deadlines with time to spare.Here at ROUVY, we do our best to bring the most realistic feeling of cycling on real roads into your training room.įrom the 2.8.0 version of the ROUVY App, the VIRTUAL RIDER models receive an update in speed calculation to reflect the difference in WEIGHT, HEIGHT, and correlation between them, just as on a real road.Īlthough we can’t give you the feel of the wind in your hair (your fan can do it well, by the way), we can, with the help of some clever physics, make sure that we get as close as possible to the differences we see between riders in real rides and races. * Our ETAs are very conservative estimates.

The Free versions of each Problem Set are linked to from each Subject page. Use the links to the various Subjects included in The Calculator Pad to access the Physics (and Chemistry) Problem Sets. Or visit the Store to make a Task Tracker purchase. Learn more: About the Calculator Pad || Teacher Accounts They can modify our pre-made problem sets, write their own problems with our easy-to-use Problem Builder, and use the Calculator Pad to design their own program that expresses their emphasis on the use of mathematics in Physics. While the FREE version does all the above, teachers with a Task Tracker subscription can take things a step further. We have even begun adding Chemistry units to the collection of Physics units. And we've maintained the same commitment to providing help via links to existing resources. Student answers are automatically evaluated and feedback is instant. Calculator Pad, Version 2 is now LIVE! We have more than tripled the size of the original version, broken each unit into several smaller, single-topic problem sets, and utilized a random number generator to provide numerical information for each problem.
