I can't figure it out due to a lack of time measurement (v=dt) but I can say with some certainty that they were going fucking fast

YA THINK?!? They have their own fucking airstrip and it was five assholes in a 2008 Beamer.Quote:

What was your first clue?
The article says that they flew off an 80ft embankment and hit the tree 15ft above the ground, so they fell 65ft = 20m. You can figure out the time they were in free fall from this: t = sqroot(40/9.8) = 2s. They covered a distance of 200ft = 61m in this time period, so they were going v = 61/2 = 31 m/s. Converting to miles an hour gives 70 m/h, so the article lies somewhere (or i made a mistake).Quote:
Here's an equation for those Physics geeks out there - how fast were they going?
They probably estimated all the distances. The damage on that car looks more like 100+ MPH, although I suppose gravity would have given it a bit of a speed boost before it hit the tree.
Consider that they attempted to slow down (I believe that the video said that there were skid marks). The wheels look like they are off of the M5. This happened about 30 miles away from me.
Edit: I was right. Here's a thread he created on an M5 board the day before he crashed.
Retards.
i wish my parents bought me an m5 (heck,i wouldn't mind an m3) when I was 19 :(
we can't all be born into superiority.
