'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ha! You can respect the right to free speech, but you don't have to respect the content. I am a fan of that sort of inanity in the face of shudder-inducing hate.
Oh, ita! This made me tear up in a good way this morning! Thank you!
I don't have sound at work, so is there something depressing about the narcoleptic puppy? Maybe I don't want to know. Anyway, if any puppy were going to be narcoleptic it would be a dachshund. Mine falls asleep in mid-lick.
An' that's all I got this morning.
My intuitive guesses:
1. 2x
2. y
Disclaimer: have not taken physics since I was 14. Very vague memories plus common sense (which may be not that common nor that sensible) are at work.
1) Um, x + x?
2) Still y?
These are very intuitiony answers.

Both narcoleptic puppies fall asleep when they get excited. The second one does it much more often. He gets excited when eating, so the only way he can actually eat a meal is if his owners hold him and constantly stroke him to keep him calm.
I think I knew that about Filene's but not the rest. Are they of specific department stores? I mean, I guess Nordstrom Rack's provenance is pretty self-explanatory, and isn't Filene's something easy like that too?
Filene's Basement was sold off from the Filene's Department Store (now Macy's) years ago, but the original one was literally the basement of the main department store, where they put unsold marked-down stuff.
I would have said 1.5x.
And yet, I still say EW EW EW EW EW.
oh yes. After that, I was on super high alert. Some guy's coat would brush against me and I yelling PERV!!
1) You are driving a car, and you accelerate from 0 to 25 mph. Say the amount of energy required is x. Now you continue to accelerate from 25 mph to 50 mph. What is the total amount of energy you used to accelerate from 0 to 50 mph?
I want to say it would be more than x, but less than 2x, since you have inertia on your side. Maybe 1.5x?
2) You drop a heavy object from a height of 10 feet, and when it hits the ground it has a velocity of y. What would be the velocity if you drop it from 20 feet? From 40 feet?
Isn't it always y, no matter the height?
Would it be weird to close my office door so I could chair-dance to Rage Against the Machine?
I'm gonna wait a bit to see if others chime in, then I'll post the answers.
