race: human vs. car

[hou-tex-six]

Lets try this Matt... you stand in front of my car and try to beat me to the 10 foot mark. You might beat me there, but in the end you loose either way. Dont worry I'll report the true results.

I did this a few weeks back, and posted it in the kill section. Against my girlfriend's 93 Honda Accord EX I had her EASILY to the 10' mark, perhaps the 20' even.

you got us all good on that one, i thought u lost in your car lol

yea, you gotta take into account the drivetrain turning, the wheels turning, and most importantly, suspension squat.

i think until you get to a car that hooks constantly thats in the 10's, you could beat the car with a human to 10'

[user1101]

we'll post some results this weekend. My money is on the person.

for Skapimp - Yes if the bullet is made on earth, there will be suffiecient oxygen in the shell :D

i think what he meant by that, is that if you shoot the gun, you will be pushed back with the exact same force as the bullet . So ul be flying backwards as fast as the bullet....

i think a person would win. ten foot isn't fair at all

Wrong. Momentum is conserved, not force. There's a mass term on either side of the equation. Your reasoning would only work if the bullet weighed as much as you+gun.

You suck at the physics. Now get off my thread.
