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.
is there something depressing about the narcoleptic puppy?
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.
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?
Don't you need calculus to solve this?
Isn't it always y, no matter the height?
Hint: No. Ignoring issues of air friction, a falling object will continue to accelerate, so the farther it falls, the faster it will be going when it reaches the ground.
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.
Awww, puppy!
Dana: No it wouldn't.
