So, i worked out the whole biking in the wind thing to include the fact that i'm moving as well and came up with some new numbers. These are a little better (for my ego) than the previous ones. i assumed that i was traveling 10 mph, which seems reasonable. i won't bore you with the new equations. Here are the results:
- θ = 0º, V = 0 m/s
- θ = 5º, V = 8.9 m/s (20 mph)
- θ = 10º, V = 14.0 m/s (31 mph)
- θ = 20º, V = 21.1 m/s (47 mph)
i will not vouch for the accuracy of these numbers. i haven't done any physics in a long time.
