Totally useless RR SC Factoids

[Evilgoat]

If dropped from 10,000 meters a RR SC (Like Bagheera) would :

Hit a terminal volocity of about 442 Meters a second (No Aerodynamics in this, hell its a Rover, why bother, they dont have any :) )

Force of the Impact would be 149.4 Million Newtons

And energy expended on impact (Assuming it bounced a few meters) a scary 298.8 Megajoules

OR

The  same energy as 373500 peanuts being burned.

Thus ends this transmission...

WOW, thats amazing  :P

I don't beleive you,  Can we have a demonstration??

MR2 comes in at 117200 Peanuts :)

I have a feeling the calculations are out fairly badly as they dont take in drag and the fact that the RR will start to spin because of weight and shape whereas the streamlined shape of an MR means it'd hit the ground faster.

Where is Thrasher when we need a test vehicle :lol:  :lol:

We can see you hiding

I'm not hiding - I'm waiting for someone to pay me for the test ... that'll be quite close to the buying price .... so GET SAVING ;-)

we will pay you after the test  

what is the scrap metal value of it :lol:

gotta take into account millage, depreciation.. most cars drop bout 5k when they driven off the fore court...  and and bagheera is nearly 4 months old :P

[Evilgoat]

This ones gonna drop at least 10K

Kilometers that is :)

I'll buy the peanuts ;)
