acceleration

[lizard]

According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced force acting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing either its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.


I thank you

I'm begining to wonder who the unbalanced force is.....................

Abstract. The volume of beer froth decays exponentially with time. This property is used to demonstrate the exponential decay law in the classroom. The decay constant depends on the type of beer and can be used to differentiate between different beers. The analysis shows in a transparent way the techniques of data analysis commonly used in science - consistency checks of theoretical models with the data, parameter estimation and determination of confidence intervals.

Therefore, this would depend upon the amount of beer consumed in the class room and if woman were present at the time .

Lizard - you're a star & tonic, with ice and a slice old son

I'll have whatever Lizards on.

Cheers!

Its too far away

Mine feels pretty quick. I haven't timed it but I did pull away sharp at a big roundabout recently (no choice otherwise I'd have been stuck for an hour) with four of us (plus a dog) in the Bongo. It shoved us all back in our seats! lol (I got into a lot of trouble...)

Although I am interested to note that some of you say it does 70mph at 2500rpm - mine seems to rev higher than that (even when fully warm). 50mph is about 2200 revs. How does that compare with others?

Mine shows an indicated 70 mph at 2,600 rpm. I once checked my speedo against a friend's GPS, and it was reading about 3 mph fast at 70 mph. Therefore 2,600 rpm = 67 mph true speed, assuming my rev-counter is accurate.

From what I have read on here, Bongos with manual boxes have a lower ratio diff. Is yours auto loftustowncrier?

According to my satnav, 65 comes up at a needles width over 2400RPM. The speedo says around 67MPH.

Is yours one 2 or 4WD Ste?

Sorry john, 4WD, with 225/45/18 tyres.

Looking at Lushprojects pages there are different partnumbers to different models - maybe different final drive ratios

Yes, it's an auto. I've spent a bit more time driving it this week with my partner being away with the other car, and I've discovered that gentle variations in pressure on the accelerator can bring about huge variations in revs. So, if I'm careful with the accelerator it actually works out the way you all say it should (does that make sense?) As I get to know it better I am noticing things like gear changes at particular temperatures etc too. It's quirky!

But once in lockup the revs/throttle pressure and speed are linear.
