My Poor Lunch

TURN THE SOUND UP.

As we all know, my luncheon diet consists of two musubis and a bottle of V8. But these are no normal musubis. Within are contained rice, cheese, spam, kim chi, and an occasional dash of mustard. While the contents may seem convoluted (especially the cheese), the musubi on the whole is actually quite succulent.

Ocean Science Bowl is an event that I partake in every Thursday with Secret Operative 1, Secrete Operative 2, and Secret Operative 3. Meetings are at the secret OSB headquarters that nonmembers are not allowed to breach without permission.



Isn't Secret Operative 2's laugh cute? Or is it evil?

While at headquarters, I discovered a sizable hole in one of the transport carts that was just large enough to accommodate one of my musubis. Yet to my surprise, the musubi fell through. The weight of the musubi pulls it down, and since there is no cart part under it, there is no normal force. Therefore the net force is down and the musubi accelerates downward. The musubi does not fall immediately as the kinetic friction between the plastic armor and the side of the hole absorbs energy, making the fall slower. When the musubi is struggling though the hole, it has gravitational potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy as it falls. After the musubi falls to the second level, I have to do work by lifting the musubi up to the hole again, thereby repeating this gruesome phenomenon.

Just Another Link

Dhur



So once again, Richard and I decided to go and ravage doc!'s room Saturday afternoon. We actually got more done there than before, and the Androoh had to come and ruin everything. So when we were done doing all the work we could have done, we needed to call our parents. But the batteries in our phones conspired against us and went dead at the same time. Therefore we needed to use the dreaded pay phone. Obviously, Androoh was forced to pay and call my parents. So after calling, we forgot to put the handset back onto the receiver, so it was left hanging (no pun intended).

Hao Chen's in love! (not with richard or androoh)

Um. So the cord and the receiver are experiencing both uniform circular motion and simple harmonic motion as it is traveling in a circular path with a net force directed radially inward of magnitude mv^2/R and the restoring force is gravity. The receiver has the maximum velocity at its equilibrium position: the lowest point of the swing. That's it for now. These weeks are so abnormal its insane. If you read closely, you'll see what I mean.
