There have been several posts recently about train vs. car or train vs. pedestrian accidents. I just did some simple math (the kind I do best) and found this interesting. If you have a young (or careless) driver in your home, this might be interesting to share. <ul><li> </li><li> </li><li> </li></ul> My car weighs about 9,300 times more than a Quarter Pounder (w/ cheese..in the bun.) So, if a train hit me in my car, it would be capable of imparting similar damage as me hitting a Quarter Pounder with my car. If I hit a Quarter Pounder, I'd hardly even notice, if at all. It would never cause me to stop and it would be obliterated. The only difference is, if a train crew hits me, they go through a lot of pain and guilt over the matter. Take your kid out, buy a Quarter Pounder, have them watch you run it over, show them the mess that results and then explain the math. Whew - applied physics is interesting stuff!
