How fast can you go?

In our daily life, we always meet with something so called transportation. A train, a bus, a car, a bike, bicycle, a boat, anything. It all around us. Why we need it? Because simply it can help us to mobile faster than by walking with feet

But how fast can you go?
In city where I live (Jakarta, Indonesia), normally we could gain around 30 to 80 kmph, depending on traffic load. Speed sounds fun right?Yes off course it’s fun, pumping adrenalin, rushing your blood, that’s why roller coaster queue never short.

But do you know what’s the effect if you crash in high speed?
According to physics law the kinetic energy you gain will rapidly increasing by increasing your speed

E = ½ mv²

E = kinetic energy (Joule)
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (speed) (m/s)

It’s stated clearly that the energy you bring will raise along with your speed SQUARED!

Remember that every kmph you gain, the energy you bring will drastically raised. So, be careful guys! Happy safety riding!
