[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1257531, member: 16802"] 1st one is correct! Good job. 2nd one is less obvious. A train wheel has a lip on it that is a larger diameter than the part of the wheel that rests on the tracks. This lip keeps the train on the track. The lip extends below the track level, thus, at the point directly below the track level, the part of the lip that is below the track is moving in the opposite direction of the train, momentarily. Likewise, the point on the wheel 180 degrees opposite of the point in contact with the track is traveling at 120 mph and the lip extending slightly farther out is traveling greater than 120 mph. Good job, Gomer! You may think that this is unrelated but MX has a lot to do with physics and physical ability. Understanding the physics concepts and principles will aid in your understanding of what is happening. Now when it comes to FMX, all bets are off! It takes bigger cahonies to do than most physicists have to even contemplate it! BTW, Gomer, were you videoed with a presidential candidate last week? [/QUOTE]
