List Your Shooters, Part IV

[2A_Tom]

Dude...that guys is more accurate with a tire at 50 yards than I am with a rifle....

And it was a moving target too. Bet he is good at skeet.

 

[Ballstater98]

Sweet heart in two seconds I am going to get down on my knee and ask you to ma....

How about the onlooker in the upper left bolting?

 

[Emerson Dambiggins]

Well at least he picked up the spare.

 

[jamil]

Well at least he picked up the spare.

No, looks like to me he picked up the 4 pin and left the 7. Proper spin would have caused the ball to hit the 4 pin at an angle to slide into the 7, thus picking up the spare.

Well done. I was actually working the spare tire angle but that works too!

 

[jamil]

Oh, the other kind of spare. Words mean stuff. And then words mean other stuff.

CM's?

I prefer the Chinese place by Sal's, it is called Hong Kong. Oh sure it isn't a buffet, but the food is really good.

Yep. As we have discussed. If I want excellent food we go Hong Kong. If we want good food with variety we eat at Dongs.

I like visuals.

He lived. I see you found the link.
That is one of the hardest hits I've ever seen where the guy lives. If he died, I wouldn't have posted it. I would love to figure out how fast (MPH) that tire is going before impact. I'd try but there's too much thinking involved and math is hard plus it's the weekend and I'm drinking.

Well we can calculate the speed. Approximate the distance the wheel travels, and the time it took to get there. Distance is what, about 170ft, over 2-3seconds?

Gonna show my Geek. Assuming thats a more or less standard 25' wide road, thats right at 2 seconds to cross the road. (start the clock as it sails over the far curb, stop it on the near curb) Im not sure of the angle, but a direct crossing of 25' in 2 seconds is 8.5mph. Since it is at an angle its probably closer to 10mph.

I think it’s faster than that. I’d estimate the angle might be more like 60 degrees. The road is just over 7.5m wide (~25ft). That makes the hypotenuse ~16m. So 16m/2 sec = 8m/s. That’s around 20mph. But estimating that angle isn’t very accurate. It’s at least 45 degrees. But probably more.

It never ceases to amaze me what you guys will argue.

Geeks, sheesh!

Are you accounting for the bounce also? It hits him in the air, obviously each bounce would scrub off *some* speed.

What, if any, additional force would the spin of the wheel impart?

 

[Alpo]

Yes, the broader issue of rotation and angular momentum.

Let's see the trig guys do some physics.

 

[Vigilant]

Youse guys are talkin smack, CM is layin smack in the sucks thread?

Did you account for the humidity? Air density will play into the speed of the tire as well. Air pollution? Is the tire fully inflated?

I suspect it was going fast enough to know the guy cold and caused serious injury.

Are you saying the tire knew that guy?
So this was no accident. That tire targeted him on purpose.
