Hmmm… don’t they know the laws of physics? It looks like they came to a stop too fast which in turn caused the heavy cement block to slide forward. Yikes!
Come on, does it really matter what kind of matter it’s made out of.
The point is the point. And in case you have forgotten the point, it’s the Laws of physics?

Hey, smart one, in order for the object to be forced to a halt there has to be something stopping it, right? Well, that happens to be (only in the ‘perfect’ world where friction doesn’t exist) an OPPOSITE force. Think about it for a second, if the thing that’s supposed to stop this object is exerting force in the same direction then the object wouldn’t stop as it is unhindered. I think you’re just trying to sound smart yourself when, in reality, you don’t understand the concepts. Here, I’ll even toss in a cited quote for you: “an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.” (The Physics Classroom)
I think there’s some punctuation errors, commas drive me nuts, but I suppose it is worlds better than what is usually seen.
Well, if you’re going to defend someone, it would help to read their quote, because if you did you would have noticed that they said “unless acted upon by an opposite and EQUAL force”, the equal being what zawada was refering to. He/she was saying that the object does not, in fact, need to be acted upon by an equal force to cease motion
also, and object in motion is not in itself a force.
(ie. the back of my hand in motion is not a force, though it will exert one when it hits your face)
It is a shipping container, not a container truck. The container is taken from a train and placed onto the trailer, with no regard to the orientation, because it will be taken off when it reaches the destination.
What your saying could well be true, i dont have any experience is this kinda thing, but I bet the truck driver wished they put it on the other way, the sheer weight may have caused it to bust through the container anyway, but it would put up much more of a fight then the locks on the doors.
Shipping containers sometimes have doors on both sides, and if they don’t they aren’t always mounted with the doors facing rearward, it depends on whether the container is going to be dismounted before it’s unloaded.
Is it even possible to secure something inside a seacan? Maybe a wooden framework I guess, but still, a few tons of rock aren’t gonna be held back by much…
while the morons are still arguing whether its marble or concrete… i ll just shift ur attention to: why are there doors in the ‘back’ of the container…2. they should have been smashed and stuck onto the front car with the ‘thing’ lidding forward and all
A) Why the hell did they have the container the wrong way round?
B) Why the hell were they carrying a big lump of rock in a container…without any packing to stop shifting?
C) Never trust stevedores to do anything right…:p

u are a real dumb ass
why is he a dumb ass?
Are you saying he is not a dumbass? That suggests that his ass is not dumb. Which in turn suggests that’s where he keeps his brain. Nice support!
really?.?.?.?.?.? did you need to say that
actually dumb means unable to speak, i would hope that he has a dumb ass.
No Mr why, YOU are a dumbass.
You must meen the law of inertia ? =0
Inertia is a law of physics…
Wellll I hate to disagree but inertia is a property, not a law.
science fail
Inertia is a result of Newton’s Second Law of Motion which is a law of physics, so technically everyone is right.
SCP – Does this really look like cement 2 u?
Can’t you see it’s lime stone?
You Dumb-Ass College Student, You…

looks like you
IF IT WERE BUBBLES THEN THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED
Shit happens!
WTH? Nice pic anyway. Who can survive in that?
An object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an opposite and equal force.
The driver obviously didn’t take physics in high school.
Are you serious??? Trying to be all clever and show off your physics ’skills’. FAIL. Newtons laws of physics, you got two mixed up.
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
(These are simplified to the level that most people will have had in school-unlike our friend asbduhas)

well, in MY physics class all we talked about was peeing in bottles and making them explode.. good times.
What is he looking for? Is he trying to figure out if he should still drive the truck?
WOW

Saw a truc like that in austria, the cabin was 1 foot thick only.
Nasty !
That guys saying to himself
“how hard would it be to steal this i wonder”
“Well, at least we know the brakes work!”
Why the heck would someone pack a huge piece of limestone in a shipping container anyway?
what the hell are you going to ship it in, a xylophone?
anyone notice that the doors on the container are on the wrong side?

after reading through the comments, i was surprised nobody else but Ishii noticed that. double fail.
I have never seen a larger piece of feta cheese in my life.
lol to funny for words

That is why it is important for everyone to wear seat belts. See what happens when you don’t buckle up everyone (and everything)?

What the fuck is that? A piece of cheese?
far out…
Eep.

This would be a mega-fail in the eyes of ancient Egyptians.
this is the best demonstration of inertia evar.
definitely an engineering/design fail.
Failure to secure the load. Tsk, tsk, tsk….
It obviously was a statue of David DIY Kit on the way to a guy named Mick-sumthin
WOW, thats one hell of an accident, blog.thinkaloud.in, click on the google ads… please
I’ve had mornings like this after doing Sake bombs all night.
Wow…the Destructive power of Tofu
Is it even possible to secure something inside a seacan? Maybe a wooden framework I guess, but still, a few tons of rock aren’t gonna be held back by much…
I can think of a way to do it…….but it is going to take a REALLY big can of Great Stuff to fillout that container…
just a heads up– that’s not limestone, feta cheese or cement– its the Fabric of Our Lives– a module of Cotton!
Don’t talk utter tosh.
It is quite clearly an alien spaceship.
that truck has brakes….
the huge block of stone doesnt.
NICE PIX TO ALL U PPL zman out
donkey punch win
call the rocksmith, i rocked out of truck!
while the morons are still arguing whether its marble or concrete… i ll just shift ur attention to: why are there doors in the ‘back’ of the container…2. they should have been smashed and stuck onto the front car with the ‘thing’ lidding forward and all
A) Why the hell did they have the container the wrong way round?

why is he even carrying a giant cement block around anyway?!!?
I can imagine telling this story to the repair shop.
“Haha, so what were you carrying in that truck, a ton of bricks?”
“Actually….”
lmfao at the donkey punch….definitely a comment win!
who the hell put the rock on a skateboard?
oof
kind of obvious.
