Knight Rider and Physics...?

The law of inertia and the limited friction of the tires are the key. If the Trans-Am would be massless and the tires would stick perfectly to the underground it would really accelerate suddenly when the driven wheels hit the ramp and would fly up the ramp with 60 mph relative to the truck or 115 mph relative to the ground. But with an finite mass this sudden acceleration would need a HUGE amount of power. The engines power is limited as it takes a finite time to accelerate a car to a given speed. So the car can't accelerate suddenly from 60 mph to 115 mph.\n\nBut that's only half the truth: From a viewpoint of the tires the underground changes it's speed. There are no tires in the whole world that could keep the grip while such a sudden change of speed. They will simply spin and by that accelerate the car even less then the engine could do. This gives the stuntman a comfortable amount of time to step off the gas and reduce the engine power to roll the ramp up slowly.

I think I'm gonna look like I've got no clue whatsoever if I answer this one but, still, I'll give it a try risking my reputation. \n\nFirst of all, I didn't have a clue what you meant by a "buckyball", then I looked it up in a dictionary, now I know its a nickname for the C-60 Buckminsterfullerene. Thanks for adding one more word in my vocubulary (I desperately need a better vocubulary). \n\nNow, coming to your question, to determine the strengh of a rope made of C-60, umm.. I'll take a coward's way out by not going into the molecular constitution of the rope. As the physical strengh is an observable physical quantity, I'll solve the problem on a macroscopic scale. \nI'll hang a heavy mass with the help of the Carbon rope and will keep increasing the mass untill the rope ruptures.\nNow, I'll note down -\n1- The Weight (mass * acceleration due to gravity) that broke the rope.\n&\n2- The cross sectional area of the rope.\n\nNow, I'll just divide the Ultimate Weight by the cross sectional area of the rope to get the TENSILE STRENGTH of the rope.\n\nNow, I'll adopt the same procedure with the steel cable.\n\nI think, that way, we can easily compare the tensile strengths of the carbon & steel ropes.\n\nNow, to answer the second part, the density of the C-60 rope. Here too, I'll use a method that doesn't involve the molecular constitution of the rope (sorry again).-\nI'll use the Archimedes' Principle instead-\nLets first assign signs to the physical quantities-\nW = Weight of the Rope\nF = Buoyant force\nd1 = density of our rope\nd2 = density of the water (or the fluid in which you choose to immerse the rope)\nV1 = Volume of the rope\nV2 = Volume of water displaced by the rope.\ng = acceleration due to gravity\n\nTake the rope & put it into water (or any other fluid), now first see if it floats or gets submerged.\n\n\nIf it gets submerged, you can say that-\nW - F = (d1 - d2) * V1 * g \n(as the volume of the rope is equal to the volume of water displaced here)\nNow, knowing other quantites, we can calculate density of the rope!\n\nIf it floats-\nW = F\nd1 * V1 * g = d2 * V2 * g\n\nd1/d2 = V2/V1\n\nIf you take water as the fluid, d2 = 1000 kg/m^3

You can do a theoretical top speed with physics, but it wouldn't account for the two main killers of speed which are aerodynamic drag and internal friction.  Without knowing those, you'd only be getting a false promise from your calculations.

try wingfields art of mechanical motion, doubleday i think.

Well my friend, two theories come into play here.\n1) Things in motion tend to stay in motion.\n2) Energy cannot be created or destroyed\nTherefore, one or both of the objects (depending of the structure and integrity of the objects) will suffer severe or absolute damage as the transfer of kenetic energy to solid matter occurs. (Depending on the speed and velocity)Whether you think so or not, one obect will move or one object will stop.

Knights in dirty armor?

Sorry I'm not good in physics.\n\nAre you from the Philippines? For sure you are because you know Sandara Park.

Oh good grief.  If it's anything like what I've just done it'll include velocity, centrepetal forces, magnetic fields, friction, gravity, forces generally, working out the mass of something and the speed at which it will fall, balances with pivot points, static electricity, AC & DC electricity, transformers, vectors and so on and so on.  It's quite hard but it's maths based so if you like maths, you should be ok.  I wish you luck.

Hope this helps....Not sure what kinda of knighting you are talking about...medieval or modern?

Tell her it's Knight Rider or a new Harley or a mistress. See which she picks. Knight Rider doesn't look so bad now does it.

is the scoring player 'dragging' the 73 newton defender? then the defender is a frictional load NOT a horizontal load\nALSO remeber what is dynamic and what is static?\nWhich is acceleration and which is velocity\nThat always give me the hardest part of these questions
