No...the force is only equal to the fastest moving object, unless that object is fixed such as a barrier, then you use the speed you are traveling. A car going 60mph hitting a fixed barrier recieves a similar force as hitting another car coming in the opposite direction at 60mph. If the wall deflects though, then the car hitting the wall will sustain less damage, which is usually the case.

I've had Dynamics lol.

You should get your money back.

Conservation of energy: If the can of soda bounced backwards after hitting his bike, the force of the impact was greater than the force contained in the moving can of soda. Even if the soda were the fastest moving object.

The fastest moving object doesn't always have the most kinetic energy in a collision either. So you're wrong that a moving soda can will not apply more force on a bike than a stationary one.

But will the can achieve enough lift from the treadmill?

Wow, Particle, glad you are OK! I hope those douchebags wrap themselves around a pole or a tree.

I posted to this thread in ADVriders. Too lazy to repeat myself here.

Glad you weren't taken out, sucks have things thrown at you.

yeah, was hoping to get the word our over there to watch out for assholes on the road.

All this physics talk is going to give my nightmares

Parts are on their way at least and when I'm done the bike will be better than before.

On another note, while pulling one of the throttle cables off, I found that there was a kink in it due to the routing through the frame next to the fork and it looks like it was going to fail in the not-too-distant future so this at least prevented something like that from happening on a long ride somewhere.

Silver lining.

Glad you found the kink but sucks that you had to find it that way! Glad your OK!!

Screwed up way to find it, but better now than later.

Was doing my weekly chain lube/clean, and saw my focking chain clip had come off! Talk about freaked!
