Physics-HELP!

[daised]

help me, i'm stuck in my physics class with nothing to do, i am sooo bored. please help. anyone have any funny pictures

 

[furious]

Figure out this problem, I gave it to a physics professor:

Thor (6'5 600 lbs) punches the Hulk (7' 1500lbs) at sea level.
Thor can press 150 tons.

What would be the impact on the surronding enviroment? I mean if this took place in downtown L.A, what would be the effect of the punch on all the people and buildings?

I found out that physics students love this question.

Peace

Throw cups of ice water at the prof and determine terminal velocity based on mass of the projectile and angle and distance.

Then determine the time delay before the prof responds based on the impact and temperature of the water.

Then determine the force of his fist landing on your face based on the temp of the water and % geekness that he is.

Note: with sassy's experiment if Proff = 100% geek then Punch Impact Velocity is Speed X 0 = 0.

So it would appear that the geek factor of the prof is inversely proportional to the velocity of the punch. Thus in the limit as x approaches infinity, where x = geek factor, v approaches zero.

I also believe that if the prof is wearing glasses there is an additional time delay factor based on where the water cup hits. He will need some time to adjust the specs while he begins to line up the fist to deliver the blow or attempt at delivery, as the case may be.

Ain't physics phun?

What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between Thor's and the Hulk's feet and the floor? =)

I'm in love. Beauty and Brains.

With the glasses you get a compounding polarization that could lead to the formation of a black hole at the point of impact if which is possible with (X < gf)^g. (g = glasses).

I agree with corndog by the way...

Awww -- where were you guys when I was finishing my physics degree??

Actually the additional glasses factor introduces some very interesting phenomena - I have theorized about "relativity glasses" -- these are the REALLY thick coke-bottle style. I believe that they can actually bend things in time and space. So an amusing outcome of this whole thing is that the prof could see the water glass coming, but as he views the image of the incoming projectile through his lenses, he might actually move closer INTO the path of the water instead of away from it. Additionally, he may appear to have a strange time/space reaction as viewed by students in the class. To him, things will seem that he is moving out of the way of the incoming object, but he will be responding to a situation while experiencing length contraction and time dilation -- thus the water glass may appear shorter than it actually is and he will think he doesn't have as far to move out of the way. Additionally he will look to the students like he is moving very slowly out of the way of the water.

So either way, the prof gets wet. He's a geek anyway and if he's wearing glasses, he can't even respond in Newtonian time. What a dork.

Daised, I highly suggest that you consider taking a sex ed class next time and spare yourself and your prof all of this pain and wetness. (Well, at least spare your prof the wetness... )
