Not the problems they give us. Here's a little taste of some of the ridiculous crap.
So you have block moving at velocity Vo along a track with kinetic friction constant u and initial acceleraction Ao. The mass passes through a frictionless "loop-the-loop" (think Six Flags rides) of radius R, and exits the loop with velocity V1. The block travels on the track for Xmeters until it hits a spring with spring constant K and goes back towards the loop. What is the velocity of the block when it is at the top of the loop the second time.
Easy my butt. Class averages are routinely in the 50's. I'm in the library right now trying to prepare for this crap. I'm actually not sure what day it is... I've been in here too long. I know that it's gotten dark outside twice.
You guys have fun and remember me while you're roostin it up.

Eric. there are a few things I'd need to answer that essay question. First, is the block made out of any kind of magic material with strange properties? Because that can throw everything off. Second, is anybody riding on the block, like a really fat broad? Because even though it might not make any difference to the answer, a thing like that can really be disgusting. Finally, where can I buy a frictionless loop like this, just in case I ever need one? See? They never tell you the really important information. Well, good luck anyway. Catch you another time.

Good point JMD. But you forgot that you have to calculate in the friction constant of motion lotion used on the disgusting fat broad riding on the block. And .... if any of that stuff drips on the rails......, your calculations are useless. She will derail on the second loop.
I am going to attempt a Saturday escape to Munster. Wish me luck. I will try to show before noon.

I'm calling BS. You're actually in the library screwing around on DRN.
I just call em like I see em man. Good luck with the Physics.

Gene-O: I did get it. Thank you very much. The pics are great--the rattlesnake looks huge is some shots. Nice quality to all the pictures. I haven't had a chance to look at the GPS maps yet, but I have downloaded the program. That was very nice of you to do. Are you riding Saturday?

I am still looking good for tomorrow. I may even get out of here early tonight so I may show up earlier.
I still have a few pictures from the Oakie Mountain Trip. The is a slight problem. I gave them to my wife to drop off a Wall Mart and I have not seen them since. We are still looking for the film.

Saturday was amazing. It was a little muddy in the morning, which was big fun. I love that place when it's slippery. My 739 on the back was a little sketchy in the morning, but as the trails dried up a bit it worked fine. It was a great day. There was a big gathering of guys I know, including Seldon and his son Benjamin, Mudd Slinger, and a big crew of Darryl's friends. I had immense amounts of fun, and put on about 42 miles. Thanks for the great ride Randy, Seldon, and everybody.

YeeeeeeHaaaaaaaa. Munster sure is fun when you mix in a little mud and slop. It just gets better. That was some great riding. Thank everyone for the good time and work out. :worship: It will take a couple of days to work out the soreness. :rotfl:
I had a blast as well. Managing my project at work as been super-intense. I really needed some hours blasting around on the trails to work off some stress. It was very effective! :-)
The weather was great. My son Benjamin had a lot of fun as well, although he still gets cross-eyed sometimes looking at very rocky uphills. He's learning very fast.

Great...now that I know what to look for...can't miss that trailer....it's going to be a bit before I can get out there again though. I'm going out of town next week thru the Memorial Day weekend, so I have lots to do around the house this weekend, and will be out of town next...
