That's not all of it, though. lol
Now, I have to justify why Yulaw's motorcycles feat is greater than 10 tons of force.
We assume that a gallon of gas weighs 6.15 pounds.
How many gallons does that motorcycle hold?
I dunno. I don't even know the model. I don't even remember what they looked like. I need someone to tell me what the model is and I can do the math.
However, just by guesstimating, I can assure you that the force required to accelerate those bikes as fast as he did, through the air, right out in front of himself, is much greater than the force required to stop that train. We are talking in the 3+ times category.
Just so you guys know where I'm coming from with this: The speed at which an object is moved through space is dependent upon the amount of force applied to it. Pretend the force acts on a light object. Then, pretend that same force is applied to a heavier object. The speed that the heavier object moves is slower, if the distance to be moved is the same for each.
So, if we translate Yulaws force to the motorcycles, we can actually get a force measurement out of him. It should be MUCH greater for those heavier police bikes, as he smacked them together quite easily. I am guessing those police bikes weighed 600-800 lbs. He held the bikes out in front of himself and smacked them together like they were Styrofoam. 600+ pound bikes. It is harder to do that than pick them up in the Marvel universe's way of measurement, which is lifting the weigh over the head.
Trust me. Try to pick up two dumbbell weights, 25 lbs each, and lift them straight out in front of you. Now, try to smack them together.
NOW, try to pick those weights up and put them over your head with your arms completely extended.
Which is harder?
By far, it's the picking up up and extending them in front of you.
Now, if you guys want to scale it, find a weight that you can move as easily as Yulaw did. Smack them together. Once you find that weight, find a weight that is your peak. Meaning, find the most weight you can do and extend them straight out and bring your arms together while it is straight out.
Divide your peak weight with the first result and you'll get your multiplication factor. That's how much you would multiply Yulaw's motorcycle weight by to get a lifting power.
So, for instance, I am quite sure the weight required to be light enough will be something close to one pound in each hand, or less. I am sure the peak weight will be something like 25 pounds to 40 pounds. (I could probably do 40 lbs, at most...based on what I do at the gym.) that's 25-40 times more strength.
We have two bikes. So..
(600*2) * 25 = 30000
That's 15 tons.
And here's the high end.
800*2 * 40 = 64000
That's 32 tons.
Of course, that's just a quick example of how to anecdotally figure this out. There is a physics way of doing it and that is to use gravity as the force to overcome. So, you would have an exact limit in weight that would be a maximum. Meaning, that same force applied to a large enough weight would not be overcome, due to the force of gravity acting on that mass. So there is a ceiling of maximum weight he could pick up.
I am not sure of a real world physics number for a theoretical limit on weight he could pick up and slam together other than an unscientific poll from KMC users here. I could have 5 of us do it. Find the heaviest weight we could move as fast as Yulaw did, and then find the heaviest weight possible. Divide the latter by the former and then post it here. Then we could average our numbers and come up with a multiplication factor for Yulaw. Then, multiply the weight of the bikes, as soon as we find that out, by 2 and then by the factor mentioned in the last sentence, and, boom, we have Yulaw's maximum weight for picking up an irregular object and bringing them together, straight out in front of him.
Edit - Wait (lol, no pun intended), I could be totally wrong. I just remembered how fast Yulaw slammed those bikes together. I think that is superhuman. He moved the bikes faster than I peak human can move their arms in the same position he did. So, my numbers would be waaaaay off. It is much higher than what we would calculate, due to how fast he moved his arms. Maybe not. I dunno. I'll have to watch it again. If we just find the weight, then that's fine. It's still off because the bikes were being held out in front of him with the weight on the bikes not all being in his hands, but extending out from himself. Think centripital motion and applying force on a lever on an irregular object with irregular densities. So, in order to make this accurate, we'd have to move objects that are the same shape with the same proportional density to the bike. So, to make it make more sense, it would be harder to move, as fast, a bike that has proportional density and proportional weight to the real bikes Yulaw moved, than if we made the measurement against just dumbbells, as almost all the weight is in the hand.
