AI Thread Summary
A tire rolling at 468 km/h into a 1m diameter, 3m tall log buried 1.5m in sand would likely sustain critical damage after just one impact due to the extreme speed. The discussion emphasizes the need for actual testing to confirm durability but acknowledges that insufficient information is provided for a detailed analytical solution. Participants suggest contacting tire manufacturers for insights on performance under such conditions. The consensus is that the speed involved would result in immediate failure upon impact. Overall, the scenario presents significant challenges for tire integrity at high velocities.

A tire rolls 468km/h into a 1m diameter/3m tall log buried 1.5m in sand. How many times can it do this before sustaining critical damage and being unable to roll anymore. Assume Earth desert climate, avg temp of 35°C, and steel wheel with rubber tire. Actual testing is requested, but a simulation would help. thx.

We cannot do the testing here and you have posted insufficient information to provide any analytical solution (either numerical or exact).
 
At this speed one time is enough.

I'll second that. 468km/h is pretty screaming fast.
 
Phone some tire companies and ask them about the performance of their products. They love to brag...
 
Yeah, I imagine the brag about the results of slamming tire at 300 mph into 2-tonne log: "-No comments..."
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
