Physics Prac

Post by Slartibartfast »

I showed this to two of our Teachers to calculate the forces needed to slide a small (midget) wrestler like this. I'm not that keen to try it myself but good for a class study! Ouch! It cheered up my agar making day no end :D

Some people will do anything to be one of the faceless majority.

I was trying to see if he still had a nose.

I think the drag co-efficient of his eyelids exceeded his torso's forward velocity allowing gravity to thankfully finally flip him over.
