Car on a conveyor belt
-
I think that the car would drive off of the belt, subsequently destroying the transmission upon meeting the non-moving tarmac.
If the radar shows the car traveling at 10 mph, the belt would be moving at 10 mph... meaning that the car is traveling 20 mph according to the tachometer.
I dont even want to think about what would happen from a standstill.
Is the belt driven by a separate motor? if it is driven by the movement of the tires it would act like a Dyno. The car's tires would spin without moving the vehicle forward at all.
In order for the radar to ever read above 0 their would have to be some sort of horizontal movement. As soon as the belt reacted by matching the cars speed the car would stop moving relative to the ground, causing the car to once again move relative to the ground.

emmm, it depends. If it had a single turbo it would fall off the back. Twins and it would sprout wings and fly away

A car is standing on a roadway that can move (some sort of band conveyor). The car moves in one direction, while the conveyor moves in the opposite direction. This conveyor has a control system that tracks the <u>cars speed</u> via radar and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but in opposite direction).The question is:
Can the car drive off the end of the conveyor or not?
What kind of car? How many miles? Last oil change?:icon_joker:

Oh GOD, enough with the f**kin conveyor belt already....five ass clowns on a conveyor belt...

Ok...so you have an F1 car on a conveyor belt....can you generate enough downforce to drive upside down?
Sorry Scott...

still tracking the speed of the object and not the wheels.. so yeah.. it's traveling. all the way off the conveyor belt.
If this conveyor belt experiment is left unmanned, computer-controlled, in a walmart parking lot, and takes in excess of four minutes, how many abandoned shopping carts will the car hit?

haha. the car has no speed and is stationary????
and since the car is going 0mph the belt would not be moving and the car would be able to drive off at 1mph??? or not
but at the time the car would go 1mph the conveyor would move and then the radar would read zero. than 2mph the conveyor 2mph and so on. with conveyor at perfect reaction the car would stay on conveyor.??? maybe?
