this could win me like half a million dollars for serious

hahahaha

I have no idea what u just said

hahahaha

I feel like I should be able to answer this.

Ah, fuck it. I don't remember a thing about physics.

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! MY SISTER'S BOYFRIEND WAS A PHYSICS MAJOR! JER, I'VE GOT YOUR BACK!

haha man if you could figure that out i will buy you lunch

i keep getting hung up on the momentum equation cuz i get left over second units that should cancel out somewhere

Yeah. I can't stand him, but the dude's a damn genius. When he logs on facebook I'll hit him up

Lunch?

Ill do it

Sam. We can't buy you lunch. YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF BUMFUCK NOWHERE.

hahaha i found out why i cant figure out the answer and it turns out you have to factor in how long the force is being applied

but i dont know how long the force is being applied because he doesnt bounce back up

Hey. Here's a new idea. Let's just drop a couple 170 lb people. Get a PSI measuring device. You've got the rest figured out I think.

D: gay sex

hahaha i might just do yahoo questions

i need to find out how high my dad would have to fall from to exert 300 lbs of pressure to prove that he could not have exceeded the 300 lb

weight limit on the treestand he fell out of by bouncing on it

because if its more than 3 inches it would be impossible

and we're sueing the company that made the treestand because it broke and he fell and broke his back

aw man, i tried it with one second of force application and got 14 meters. thats not true at all

i would help, but i don't have physics until school starts D:

let's test it out!!

everytime we fail, we'll know what NOT to do

:3

this sucks, mason already said this, i didn't read the conversation above

fuck it, i'm getting out a physics book, hold on.

FUCK, i gave the book to this kid i know and he hasn't give it back

i feel bad because i should know this stuff D:

I FOUND MY PHYSICS CHART!!!!

i'm trying to figure out what formula to use to solve this problem. i'm rusty

:/ all i could figure out so far is that your dad's mass is 77110.3, and i'm not even sure if that is right

i got the formulas all boiled down now, and i need the length of impact time to figure it out

77110.3 gr.

haha no thats right, its around 77kg which is what i was using, thats in grams

answers.yahoo.com/questi...

i was going to give you people the answer (barring wind resistance) but no one here deserves it

thats a more discriptive explanation of what i need, i asked yahoo pplz a question

i'm not exactly the best at physics, haha, haven't had the class yet, but i've been studying over the summer, haha

ahh i see! impulse and momentum

force multiplied by time is impulse, and mass multiplied by velocity is momentum

i think

when i looked up momentum i found the units for momentum to be NxS newtons times seconds, and newtons is a unit of force

so i used force times seconds in place of momentum, is impulse different? its been 2 years since i had physics

i have a new hatred for physics

this is hard ;_;

haha impulse is a change in momentum so thats not what im doing, i could use that to find the force perhaps if i could find initial momentum

i really am stumped on this, and have no idea how to continue this formula

wish i could help hope you get your answer! i'll try asking my dad in the morning, he's good with physics

haha nah i have all the physics down and know how to do it now im just missing that one number, l impact time, which you cant figure out
