Driving Uphill

vtec to vvel

OP, perhaps the reason why people drive slow going uphill is because they're not driving civics. I guess gravity would have a less of an effect on lighter cars?

Bad Boy

You would guess wrong. Gravity doesn't discriminate against weight. Hence why everything falls at the same rate.

vtec to vvel

You finally state something true, kinda.

Everything does fall at the same rate, HOWEVER in a vacuum, where there is no air resistance. You're telling me if I drop a feather and a 100-weight at the same time in windy conditions, they will land at the same time?

BTW, going uphill isn't exactly falling nor in an environment with no air resistance. If two people are running up hill, one with a 100 lb bag and the other with a 10 lb bag, which of the two do you think gravity will have the most effect on, thus working harder and running uphill slower?

Bad Boy

I know. However, the other person stated something irrelevant. Something about gravity working for the lighter car, being the civic.
Then I stated, false.

vtec to vvel

how is it that you know so much about physics but can't figure out if a civic is faster than a Z?

Davey

Because he's trollin'.

People drive slower going uphill for a couple of reasons:
1. the cruise control in their POS can't keep up
2. their right foot can't keep pace in relation to their jaw jacking on the phone
3. "bad" boy has them distracted with his fellatio skills

How can you say that? He is a bad dude. Seriously. He is truly bad -- a veritable "bad-boy".

I am sorry, but the guy makes me laugh. I have no idea why.

We all saw this coming; as the 370Z ages and the prices on used units drop, they become more affordable to the lower class/intelligence segments of society.

You know what I am talking about. Just look at the proliferation of posts such as here in this thread. We are becoming inundated with picnic table-style spoilers, excessive carbon fiber add-ons, "hella-flush" mentality and, more importantly, users who fancy themselves "bad". When one calls one's self bad, one is not.

I weep for our future.

But we are no longer talking about gravitational force in this scenario. Now we are talking about strength. If Dwayne Johnson was carrying the 100lb bag, and Peewee Herman the 10lb, Dwayne Johnson would still be at the advantage.

Totally missed this post. Now, you are no longer talking about the "perfect" scenario, but rather you are adding in variables. You mentioned in an earlier post about objects falling at the same rate, but failed to comprehend that this is only in a sealed vacuum, where there is no air resistance. My post regarding the two people with 10 lb and 100 lb bag assumes that both people are the same and identical. Let's take your example of the Rock and if Rock A carried a 10 lb bag and Rock B carried a 100 lb bag, which Rock would have to put in more effort due to gravity?


So STFU and regarding your post about being this and that, YOU AIN'T SH*T!
