over speed policy ( central drivers )

Back to the original post. Not a central or swift driver but the overspeed was explained to me at my company. Once you exceed the governed speed, your no longer have fuel being added to the cylinders. No fuel and excess rpm can and does cause damage to the piston heads. If you turn the truck into the manufacturer for warranty work and they can prove "excessive overspeed" they can and will normally void the warranty. The ecm's on all the new trucks track everything so proving it is not hard to do. most of the mega carriers pay extra for extended warranties and don't want to have them voided.

My t700 has tag on the door jamb, pretty sure its manufacturers tag, states overspeeding will void warranty.

 

Objects in orbit are always getting closer and gaining speed.
But the distance and speed cancel out one another, creating equilibrium between the two.
Because of the inertia of the bodies in question.


Inertia is not an external force. It does not exert a force on something else.
It is internal. It is a force that maintains a specific state within its own mass.

 

That's actually kind of funny. So, since the earth is in orbit, by how much will it's speed increase this year and how much closer will it be to the sun? And, since you said the speed "always" increases then how long before the earth theoretically reaches the speed of light?

Actually, an orbit only increases speed and closes distance when it decays. A true orbit balances the energy of inertia with gravitational pull so that the acceleration of gravity is only expressedin the direction of its vector rather than in an increase of speed.

The reason that a moving object in space maintains its velocity is because inertia is an expression of energy (not force). And since energy is conserved an object will maintain that motion until acted upon by a force which will then change its vector. Why, because a force is defined as a phenomenon that causes a change in matter which usually most easily can be described as a change in its vector.

 

But the distance and speed cancel out one another, creating equilibrium between the two.

I guess you missed that part.

And, it's been fun.

 

I didn't miss it. It just doesn't make any sense.

 

Actually this is all pretty basic 1st year physics stuff. If you really want some good times, you should hear me teach the bible.

 

Really?

As two objects orbit they are continually drawn into one another by gravity, which reduces the distance between them.
It also causes the velocity of each to increase, which increases each mass' inertia.
The equilibrium that cancels them out is known as centripetal force.
It's the sweet spot between gravity and inertia, where those forces either cancel each other out or work together (depending on how you want to view it) to allow two masses to orbit each other.


And, please!
Do not even bring up centrifugal force.
It is as fictitious as you make inertial force to be. Probably more so, since it relies on inertial force.

And inertial force is only fictitious as long as the object is not being moved upon.
At that point it is only potential energy.
But collide the object with something, or move something within gravitational range, and that potential energy becomes kinetic force.

 

And I imagine we could go for hours, or days or years, discussing the Bible.
My avatar alone should give you a hint.
