Hello there.

Havent been on here for a while.

Hope everyone is well?

You will be pleased to hear I have now grown up and am not a silly little boy.

But I still expect the piss-taking so...

 

Anyway. I saw this question on another forum. See if any of you lot can do it

 

So, you are on a train. The train is travelling north at a velocity of 50mph.

 

You are in the first class carriage, in which there is an escalator moving in the opposite direction (south) moving at a velocityof 6mph. The escalator is angled at 45 degrees.

 

You, being the messer that you are, are running in the opposite direction on the escalator at a velocity of 8mph.

 

So, what direction are you moving, in relation to the ground, and at what velocity taking all factors into account?

Another one:

 

If the coefficient of friction of willow is x and the coefficient of friction of rubber is y what is the coefficient of friction of the lubricant required to place a rubber sleeve over a cricket bat handle?

Oh, the velocity would be 52mph but as the escalator is at 45^o. . . hey, hang on, how tall is the train to have an escalator at 45^o? Would it get under bridges or tunnels?

Long time no visit for me too

 

WTF has been going on?

So, you are on a train. The train is travelling north at a velocity of 50mph.

Train at 50mph?? Can we stick to questions pertinent to the real world please.

eg

You've had to get off the train at Northampton due to engineering works at Rugby. The bus to take you onwards to Birmingham is due in 30 minutes, but is reported to be 15 minutes late thanks to the flooding. Assuming the station buffet is a 5 minutes round trip away, how many cans of Stella should you get for the journey to Brum given that the maximum speed of the bus is limited to 50mph, the journey is 80 miles, the diver isn't sure of the best route, and the bogs are closed at the station.

Good question. Our once proud club has just been f?cked up - in 12 short months.

Whats the gradient of the track?

The track is completely flat.

But good question.

is it windy?

The train is modelled as a particle so therefore no air-resistance/friction occurs.

I take it all these extra questions means no-one can actually do it?

The answer is Jupiter.

I take it all these extra questions means no-one can really be ?rsed as the original question is flawed by lack of content

If the train is passing through Wigan North Western, the answer is 22/7

Is the train full or empty?

 

If it's full it's the 34th of Jilember.

Your way out there Smiffs it's...

 

n(t+1) = n(t) + n(t) = 2 * n(t) (6.)

 

 

in this instance n = naughty....ok?

So using that formula how fast can you push a hoover round a room 15' x 12'?

The answer is Jupiter.

If you want a serious answer Rich, you're wasting your time.

 

Work it out for yourself, using this as a clue.

If you're on a train travelling 100mph and you jump up in the air, why do you still land on the same spot?

Is it summat to do with relativity? Or is that only in Blackburn

Oh I know the answer already. Its relatively simple.

But im still trying to work out why you would land on the same spot... I cant see how that is possible?
