I do have the following motion problem:
Let's supose that two belt conveyors (chained) are running at V1 and V2 (V1<V2). A parcels travels from CV1 to CV2. When reaches the junction point between conveyors, it will acelerate from V1 to V2. &quot;t&quot; is the requiered time to be fully transferd on the second conveyor(it depends on its mass, lenght, friction...).
What will be the ratio between &quot;t&quot; and the ideal time &quot;T&quot; when at junction point the parcel will &quot;fly&quot; at V2 (T=lenght/V2)?
