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.

Bummer dude! Kids suck.

I got egged once. On Christmas Eve, some kid launched an egg at my door. The body shop guy told me eggs are chosen because the shells work their way into the paint, making for that much more damage.

I also had a kid jump out in front of me with a stick to try to knock me off the bike.

Long story short, kids suck. Kill 'em all. Report it, can't hurt.

Damn dude. What a bunch of fucktards. Glad you're ok

glad the damage is fairly minor.

around here they like to "shake out" a large towel or small blanket and try to catch your front end. apparently it is hilarious entertainment. not sure what they'll do if they ever catch one. I"ve had it done to me multiple times, not fun but at least it's more avoidable then a flying can.

I think I would have beat the fuck out of them. perhaps that would be just the event to warrent me pullin the piece on some fucks!

Jebbus, man - that's one of the most randomly malicious things I've ever heard of. Like everyone else, I'm glad it didn't hit YOU - that could have easily been fatal in the wrong spot!

The douchebag deserves the beatdown of his/her life!!

Oh - and you're right about the effective impact speed/kinetic energy being additive (minus decel. due to air resistance). 'Had dynamics' and understanding vector mechanics are obviously two different things.

phew. I'm glad all those physics classes in college didn't get totally forgotten
