What if the cliff is really long? and takes more then 2 Seconds?

utter utter fail

nitin, tell me. if im in a car that is traveling 80MPH how far can i travel in 60 minutes?

he is wishful at that price. i bought mine off rich 19 months ago for the same and the market has not been in good health since

I'll never understand why people do it either, if you want £3600 put it up at £3750

It's if a car is travelling 60MPH, how far does it travel in 60 miles.

Easy, just work out how many miles you can run in a minute and then work out how many times the wheels will rotate and go from there

LLL can you give Nitwit a physics lesson please

it would not be a long cliff it would be a high cliff as they go downwards

so it would do 0-60 in 2 secs and about 120mph by the time it hit the bottom

and before you ask no it would not hit Vtec as the wheels would not be turning

sometimes jokes are hard work

So true!

Well what's the terminal velocity of a prelude. Depends how high the cliff is and how heavy the car is to go quicker than 60. Luckily the 4th gen is so rusty that the holes allow it to pass through the fail better.

Using basic calculations (so not including weight, drag, etc.) it should take 2.7seconds for a free falling object to reach 60mph, achieved in a fall of 49.98metres.

EDIT2: Not quite sure how I worked out the distance it would take... but here is what I thought. After 1 second it'll be at 9.8m, 2 seconds = 19.6m, third second = 29.4m. 0.7 of that third second = 20.58m. But that's assuming acceleration is a straight gradient (don't know the word), but it's exponential?

EDIT: Not quite sure what the definition of an object is, but the acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s/s, and 60mph is 26.82m/s?

I think, anyway

not 100% reliable because everything has a different terminal velocity.

dont forget to adjust your calc's for the shear amount of wind resistance the 5g headlights will create
