Hi,
I've a question that is baffling me a little.
If a train was made so that it would act as a moving track / roadway and the cars were connected so as to complete a length of the track, in an oval for example. Say we accelerate the moving trackway to 100 Mph, and then a car accelerates to 100mph. Total speed = 200mph.
Now say you have a moving track on top of the railway track. Are all of the speeds combined, is it even possible? Would I imagine it would be like running on a travelator? So long as you joined the train at 100mph would you instantly accelerate to 200 mph?
It is hurting my brain and I know something in my thinking is incorrect!
