Car Handling
Automobile handling and vehicle handling are descriptions of the way a wheeled vehicle responds and reacts to the inputs of a driver, as well as how it moves along a track or road. It is commonly judged by how a vehicle performs particularly during cornering, acceleration, and braking as well as on the vehicle's directional stability when moving in steady state condition. In the automotive industry, handling and braking are the major components of a vehicle's "active" safety, as well as its ability to perform in auto racing. The maximum lateral acceleration is sometimes discussed separately as "road holding". (This discussion is directed at road vehicles with at least three wheels, but some of it may apply to other ground vehicles). Automobiles driven on public roads whose engineering requirements emphasize handling over comfort and passenger space are named sports cars.

It contained 51% skim milk, was sweetened by a blend of sugar and sucralose, and provided 30% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamins A, C & D and Calcium.

However, water and sweeteners made up much of the other 49% of the drink, and the calorie count for an 11 oz. (325 ml) can of Swerve Chocolate Drink was 160 calories – more than the 1 ...

Greenblatt uses it to describe the history of Lucretius' own book: "The reappearance ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
