Red's Snorlax stops an out of control Magnet Train and saves the passengers from catching a bad case of death.
Train's Stats[]
In the games, the Magnet Train is stated to be able to move at 550 km/hr, this is about 152.778 m/s. This is probably a low-ball because it was stated to be moving faster than usual.
The Magnet Train is based on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen and the Chūō Shinkansen, while I couldn't find a weight for the later, I could find a weight for the Tokaido. A 16-car set weighs 715 tons, which is 44.7 tons per cart. There are 3 carts left when Snorlax stopped the train, 134.1 tons or about 121,653.47 kg.
Calculation[]
Blue states that the train will crash in less than a minute and a few panels later, Snorlax comes out of his Pokeball and stops the train rather quickly. I believe that based on how it is portrayed, 30 seconds or less seems reasonable.
Deacceleration is Final Velocity - Initial Velocity, all over Time. Final Velocity is 0 m/s since it was slowed to a halt.
(0 m/s - 152.778 m/s) / (30 s)
= - 5.09 m/s^2
F = ma
121,653.47 kg * 5.09 m/s^2
= 619,216.16 Newtons or 63,142.48 kg (Class 100)
Well, that's not bad, but it's lower than I was hoping for. Keeps him at the level he already is, so I guess it's a good supporting feat if it gets accepted. Maybe I could use a shorter time frame?
