Transfer Phenomenon: Why Coal Slows & Speeds Trains
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="KishoreAM, post: 5478176, member: 594668"] Imagine two railroad trains traveling on parallel tracks at different speeds, and workers shoveling coal from one train to the other. On the average, the impact of particles of coal going from the slower to the faster train will tend to slow down the faster train, and similarly the coal going from the faster to the slower train will Lend to speed up the latter. Why? This question seems pretty obvious for somebody, but please try to explain it. [/QUOTE]
