Haven't you been reading Lum's Google Ads?  Everybody is clammering for info on Condi.  She's the new It girl.

Is it a seedless watermelon?

That certainly would affect its acceleration!

It’s not a question of seeds vs. seedless. It’s a simple question of weight ratios. A 150 lb. woman simply could not thrust a watermelon upward at a velocity of 20 ft/sec. Not even if she’s an African .... er...

But seedless watermelons are tropical and Washington is a temperate zone….
No, no, no.  Weight does not affect acceleration except for the amount of force needed to act on the mass.  DENSITY DOES NOT MATTER.

:-D

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

Actually, weight does matter. Though changes in weight driven by changes in mass will cancel out when determining acceleration. Weight is not a characteristic of the melon alone, but a characteristic of the melon in combination with a gravitational field.

Watermelons weigh less on the moon and accelerate downward slower as a result, but have the same mass etc.

I thought density was matter?

I'm confused.

It took me reading through the second quoted part to determine what was wrong with that test. Maybe it if had said Haemish throws a watermelon, it might have been ok? I don't know, my mind doesn't work that way. Maybe Ironwood can tell me.

Don't look at me, I have no fucking idea what all that was about.  I'm not too up on what is a racist icon and what isn't, suffering as Scotland does with a lack of actual black people.  I still have no idea about the whole fried chicken thing, tho I see it as a constant image on Busta Ryhmes videos.

Tho I will say that Condoleeza was a fucking bizarre choice to stick as a name in a test.  Whatever happened to 'Jenny' or 'Billy' or 'SubjectA' ?  Seems a little strange...

I was purposefully ignoring any relation to physics, besides using the terms, considering the silliness of the quotes.  I just wanted an excuse to re-use the phrase.  tongue

Wait - so a pound of feathers really does fall at the same rate as a pound of rocks?
