Now you are being specific, you have changed to the law of gravity not motion. To say I know nothing about Newtons Laws is a bit presumptuous on your part. I flew 747's for a living for all you know. I did not but I could have. I flew kites like Benjamin Franklin.
Pilots have to worry about gravity, hopefully.
What is so specific about 155mph and not 154mph say. Is this a magic number that we should be aware of?
What two wheels? Front and back or left and right?
