The area of wheel that touches the track is the same in both cases, less than the size of a dime. Each rail car (a single M7 and an LRV) has exactly the same area (80 cents worth) of contact with the world. If you lock wheels the big heavy train is going to keep going and going, without any control available to the operator.Mass and Inertia. ROAR |
