The impact would have forced the bike forward. Andy I would have checked it with Snopes but they have banned me for proving that they are politically motivated on a high percentage of their "fact checks". I didn't find anything on Snopes but I found this very similar image from 2012 https://jalopnik.com/5918071/look-at...is-chinese-car Also found on reditt https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comment..._a_germanmade/ Cheers BINGO - the comment there proved it a hoax. The traction of the bicycle wheel would not be enough to overpower the construction of the car. It would simply push it forward or even lift it off of the ground. Do you note that not only is it a different bike but it has flat rims. Al's picture shows a Fixy and not only that but no brakes at all and no one could stand on the pedals with a push like that. Also the car is completely different. |

Cheers Right, they are clearly different instances which means either this staged meme snapshot is trending or that crappy thin polymer front valences of modern cars are less strong than some bicycle wheels in some crashes. Or, given two in several years' span, these are merely a couple of anomalies from which deeper meaning ought not to be drawn.

The total amount of traction of the tire has to be measure in ft/lbs of energy. Even a paper mache front end could exceed that. |

And another figment of imagination is shattered :-) -- Cheers John B. |

Braking force is measured in different ways, but the easiest to visualize is kinetic energy in kj and braking time which equals kilowatts . kj (kilo joules) is usually calculated as half the product of the mass times the square of the speed. Or perhaps mass (in Kilograms) times deceleration (meters per second) equals Force (in Newtons). See http://www.adilca.com/BRAKING_FORCE.pdf -- Cheers John B. |

Or perhaps mass (in Kilograms) times deceleration (meters per second) equals Force (in Newtons). See http://www.adilca.com/BRAKING_FORCE.pdf If Tom's use of "traction" was intended to mean a force, then as the example on page 5 of that PDF says, an appropriate unit would be Newtons (or kiloNewtons). In the U.S., the appropriate unit would be pounds. Again, depending on context, someone might use the word "traction" to refer to the coefficient of friction. In that case, it would be unitless, since coefficient of friction is a ratio of one force to another. Newtons/Newtons = unitless. I can't think of another possible meaning for the word "traction," but I"m willing to listen to ideas. The last units Tom gave would simplify to ft*sec/lb which would be something like velocity/force. It makes no sense in relation to "traction." -- - Frank Krygowski |
