One more week...dangnabit. If you've read any of my past blogs (although I'm sure no one has, or is even reading this now) you'll see I try to write about current stuff going on. The subjects might be random sometimes, but I assure you they were sparked by something that happened that week. That being said, yesterday I went to that AP US practice exam, and saw Kun Woo with a lacrosse stick. Yup, I'ma be talking bout lacrosse, deal wit it. Too bad I don't know anything about it. I do know about torque, however, and the ball sits in a little net at the end of a stick when people shoot in laccrose, right? Anyways, when they shoot that sucker, they whip that stick forward, and the ball goes flying out with a snap. In case you forgot, Torque is radius*force, and the force and radius is big enough so that tiny ball has great acceleration. Imagine if the stick were like the size of a loaf of bread or something, that wouldn't get much torque. As for the other physics of lacrossse, I can't think of any and need to finish the Mayor of Casterbridge. GO ________!
Who are those dudes? I don't know.
