Why You Need to Listen in Physics Class (video)

Post Reply New Topic

Apparently, these individuals (who I strongly suspect are NT) are not familiar with the second law of classical mechanics - that an object that is in motion will remain in motion unless a force is used to stop it. Hilarity ensues.

Also, they are supposed to be on Leno tonight with this video. I sincerly hope that they use some of Leno's money for an introductory physics class at their local community college.

Wow. I wish I could be bright enough to do things stupid enough to get money for it.

Ack. I watched this video three times, and while I agree it was a stupid idea, I can't figure out what hit the car. What was it?

I couldn't tell either. It looked like a water balloon, but it had to be a lot tougher to not break.

hahaha....that made me laugh and I've had a really rough* day! Thermodynamics is laughing at NTs too. Unless, of course, heaven forbid, a given NT could have been hit hard on the head. I assume no NTs were harmed in the making of this video.

* Autistic "meltdown"......I hate that word. BTW, does anyone have a better word than meltdown? Or, is this another thread? Really - meltdown sounds reminds me the wicked witch of the west (and I hated the Wizard of Oz). Anyone, better (more creative/descriptive) word?

I don't get what they did. What DID they do? What did they launch off the ramp? Why is this particular video Leno-worthy? I understand why what happened happened, but I want to know everything else about what they did.

They threw a bowling ball at the ramp while in the car.

Oh. Yeah, that would definitely be a bad idea. Now that video is hilarious!

One has to wonder what they were TRYING to do.

Ah, now I get it. I thought it was a basketball, but I wasn't sure. A bowlingball? I agree, calandale: What were they trying to do?
But it is really funny.
