Great video as always! Just a correction: Gs already have the 'second' in them. If you meant you accelerated the car to 400m/s (seems about right) in less than 0.2s, the acceleration is actually more than 200Gs. Say hello to George!
Acceleration per time is a real quantity, called 'jerk', which could be a good way to describe the violence of this, but that's unlikely to be the intended meaning here given the values. It's not totally clear to me what was meant, but my best guess is taking the speed and dividing by the ~12 frames of video (at 60fps) it takes for the paddle to complete its swing, but the actual acceleration seems to be entirely in the first one or two frames of that and for the rest of the arc it's at a more or less constant speed, so taking that into account it would be a truly huge amount of Gs, over 1000. (If acceleration is proportional to force, jerk is proportional to the amount of change of force per time. This quantity is not common but is relevant in things like deformation and stress propagation through a material when exposed to a shock, and in injuries like whiplash.)
so many nostalgic things. that launcher was a crusher. i saw Insanegaz do a video about that in 2013 the mobile home was old too. even those red apartments.
Even _without_ the trap... I think it illustrates why we'll never see F1 racing through narrow tunnels lol Also, a request: mod that train engine into something, similar to say, Jay Leno's _Tank Car_ ☺️❤️
@@helenastenvislavskovic I did legitimately think of that one, but discounted it for two reasons. First, I thought that was 4-lane? Or 2+1, or 2 with a very wide median... _(disclaimer: my memory is based on beating Gran Turismo 4 lmao)_ Secondly, it's not really what I (personally) would classify as a tunnel, due to being open on one wall. Which would make it *_a bit_* less deadly during a multi-vehicle fire, as the flames aren't contained. _(they could also get a fire boat to spray water in through the openings, for example, if they felt approaching it with trucks was too dangerous)_ However, I must cede defeat to you lol As it seems *they* indeed classify it as a tunnel... And also, apparently there's another track with one, albeit a smaller tunnel: _TUNNEL: _*_Monaco_*_ is one of only 3 circuits in Formula One history that has included a tunnel. The other two are the _*_Detroit Street Circuit_*_ (1982 - 1988 Detroit Grand Prix) and the _*_Yas Marina Circuit_*_ in Abu Dhabi (since 2009)._
so your'e telling me, your house is in shambles (but you probably put it back together) and if i went inside, all of your furniture is inside-out and shaped as a rhombus?
