Noticed quicker acceleration while holding water bottle?

[ross_forp]

I was able measure about 1.8g peak on my board…

By getting hit by a car?

@jack.luis

By getting hit by a car?

Riding foot powered down my street

[ross_forp]

I was hitting speeds of nearly 5 meters/second or nearly 11 mph…

@ross_forp

0-60mph in 2 seconds in a Tesla is actually 1.3g average

1.3 average vs 1.2 peak is hilariously inaccurate

[poastoast]

i also don’t see any water bottles here

not to mention

I see no 1.0g sustained so, this dataset is invalid

[jack.luis]

OP has never taken any kind of physics course and it shows

My point exactly… peak acceleration is meaningless, average is all that matters

[poastoast]

you never made that point XD

I think you conceded above, that you only need leverage and a counter weight when you’re past the limits you can lean into.

So I can only conclude that your foot is too powerful for you. and threfore you enjoy the reduced acceleration per unit force which the extra mass of the water bottle gives you because you’re able to tap into all that raw power of your foot which can afford the tax of more mass.

impressive.

Try shortening a dragster and removing the ballast weights at the front… this doesn’t affect the available power but you’ll have less available acceleration, even though total weight is now less.

[poastoast]

i bet you leaned into your 1.8g

[tuckjohn]

@ross_forp

I own one but prefer no motor…

What forum is this again?

[poastoast]

does this mean I can lean back if I double the water bottles?

take a perfectly balanced dragster. it can achieve a thrust of F.
Try increasing the length of the dragster and adding more counter balance. it can still only has a motor that can produce thrust F.

can it accelerate faster now because it’s longer and has more mass ?

A dragster isn’t necessarily limited by engine power, with plenty of power its thrust force can be limited by the driver not wanting the front end to lift off the ground during the race.

I assume from your repeated examples, this is how you’re feeling about your foot. you’re not yet at it’s limits, and can’t handle it with leaning alone.

Almost but its slightly different. With the same force per kick, I believe I can shorten the time between the end of the previous kick and the beginning of the next kick, especially when climbing, by holding a water bottle.

I see there’s a female in all the generated images

Is that symbolic of your relationship with your foot?
