    you're saying it could take a week to get to 50 miles per hour, but it's not as if it idled for 590 feet and then shot to 50mph. it's got to be moving the entire time at an increasing speed and it has to reach 50mph before reaching 600 feet traveled.

    i could be and probably am completely wrong, but i'm assuming there is an equation here that i just don't happen to know

    • for instance once you get to 20 miles an hour how long would think it would take to go 600 feet? 2 seconds maybe?7point34
    • this fucker is fast, can we agree to that?7point34
    • Not necessarily.harlequino
    • josh has lost the plot.Jnr_Madison
    • probably more than that but you get the idea i'm getting at

    • Silly, but: You could have an ant that reaches 50mph, but its acceleration is like a sine wave, peaks toward the end.harlequino
