Neighbour did that with his, not very steep but had the spout out & wheel went into a rabbit hole.

Must be Australia

True

Chance of a horse doing that 1 in a million

Chance of a door opening along a line of parked cars or someone running out without checking 1 in 100? 200?

School buses in the States dropping off compulsory sign operated by driver, no vehicles may pass (either direction) until bus driver stops the sign / moves off . Great system

Where as in this country, you wait to put your child on the bus numerous Parents who's little cherubs are too precious to go on the bus fly past at a completely unsafe speed but if it was their little cherubs YOU went past they would be in uproar!

I have stopped going to town at school kicking out time .There is a primary school that joins onto the Asda car park with a playground between the two. Whilst the mothers take up all the parking spaces and any other spare space nr the school little harry and chums are free range running about whilst mum and co discuss coronation street .It gets a bit scary at times

what gets me is when they push the pushchairs in front of them from behind parked cars its particularly dangerous when passing fwd's or vans

I was taking some cows home in a box behind the truck once and got hit by a car that was over taking me but he missed judged the distance he was away from me and hit every panel on the truck, completely his fault and he paid for everything including the hire truck for a couple of months, how could I have avoided this accident? driving slower would not be a good answer.

You couldn't have. The other driver could have though.

131,000 people injured in road accidents last year (a good year due to lock down) If only one in to accidents result in injury, you are looking at about 1.5 million accidents in an average year.

Very very very few were due to horses bolting, children running into the road or other unlikely occurrances.

The rest were nearly all due to speed or driver error.

Despite what you may read on TFF, bales do not randomly jump off trailers!

what a moron car driver bet hes glad they have cameras

 

[serf]

Bet he couldn't do that again .....

Not with the same car anyway!

Momentum causes very strange things to happen.

I once saw a guy take a shotgun cartridge apart and fit a candle to it where the shot would be.
He then fired it through a wooden door.
The door turned into matchwood, but he picked the candle up and lit it.

The reason it survived yet the door was smashed up is because of the kinetic energy (momentum) of the candle moving at high speed into a stationary (or slow speed) door.

You might have to do a bit of a refresher of the elementary school physics book, specifically the chapter about Newton's third law; when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

It doesn't matter which object is moving, all the forces still look the same.

Not at my I age I won’t, thank you!

All the more reason to keep the noggin active!

If I have a small box on a table and push it with my finger and if an equal and opposite force is applied as Newtons law says...why does the box move ?

If I have a small box on a table and push it with my finger and if an equal and opposite force is applied as Newtons law says...why does the box move ?

If the force is equal and opposite nothing should move, you will have to apply a greater force than the box before you overcome the force it is exerting on your finger. This is quite a complex calculation as it isn’t just about the mass of the box, the friction between the box and the desk has to also be taken into consideration.

Ah yes. But Newton’s law says an equal and opposite force is applied. So surely if I increase the force applied by my finger an equally greater and opposite force is created

Yes, once you have overcome friction the increasing force goes into accelerating the box. To move the box at constant speed the applied force is constant

Has the above mentioned box met with some sort of accident

Did it skid along the table and overturn

Was it being pushed by a very young, inexperienced lad wearing sunglasses, a schoffel ganzy and with a phone jammed to his ear

Was it a Fendt box

So many questions. The Fizicks is all very well but we need photos.
