Clever, all of them.

[The_Black_Knight]

Great. Now I want sushi.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I thought so too Garricks :D

... and me too TBK ;)

[CkretAjint]

Sushi for breakfast???

IM THERE! :D

[WannaBrie]

oooooo, sushi for breakfast, mmmmmmm... Beats the oatmeal I just had.

[The_Black_Knight]

I don't normally think about sushi for breakfast, but it's hot and humid outside today. I seem to be more in the mood for sushi when it's hot. Therefore, sushi for breakfast doesn't sound so bad.

[Virgo Nightingale]

I could blend sushi and drink it with my sushi dinner. Or breakfast.

I could blend sushi and drink it with my sushi dinner. Or breakfast.Would you use a Bass-o-Matic for that?

[Randomhero]

The wheel chair toilet is rough :P.

[Psyco]

I love the toilet one. It gets the point across. lol

Bad idea to read this on an empty stomach.

[budafist]

I'd chase the sushi car right now.

What is the answer to scales/elevator riddle?

[garricks]

buda, it's something to do with physics, mass and motion, but I can't pull the rest out of my brain.

OK, Dr. Math has the answer (http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/64457.html). WARNING: Teh Maths inside. May cause brain pain.

[The_Black_Knight]

It has to do with inertia (a body at rest tends to stay at rest, a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force).

When the elevator is stopped, you exert a certain amount of downward force on the scale. When the elevator starts moving downward, your body wants to stay where it was (inertia), and will take a moment to catch up to the elevator. As long as the elevator is accelerating toward the ground, your body will be exerting less force on the scale, since it still wants to stay "at rest." If the elevator ride is long enough, then the elevator will reach a constant speed, and your weight would return to normal, since both the elevator and you will be moving toward the ground at the same rate.

TBK knows teh maths! :eek:

So if the elevator car is in free fall, can you save yourself by jumping right before it hits the basement?

( :p )

[Red Kittie Kat]

If only ....


:D

My brain hurts.

( :p )I wish I knew the maths...

Unfortunately, I only understand some of the concepts involved.

I think Mythbusters did a show on the "jumping if the elevator is in free fall" bit. The answer was no, you're still screwed.

And here's why: If the elevator is in free-fall, then so is the occupant. This means that they are both moving toward the earth at the same speed. Even if you jump at the last second, your speed (in relation to the earth), will only change by the amount you can give yourself by jumping, which isn't a whole lot. While I don't know the exact numbers involved, the short answer is that you can't.

So in other words, if your speed at impact is 100mph (this is a random number for the thought experiment, don't take it as real), then your jump would have to give you close to that number to keep from being splattered. At best, your jump might give you a few mph in the opposite direction, which means that you will still splatter, just at a slightly lower speed then before. So even if you can push off the bottom of the elevator at a speed of 30mph (which I doubt), you would still hit the ground at 70mph, which is not something I would care to volunteer for.

Also, think about it this way: if our bodies were strong enough to jump hard enough to save ourselves in a free-falling elevator, then we could literally jump over a hundred feet into the air, and be able to survive coming back down from that kind of jump.

[garricks]

Oh, your answer caused me to ask The Googe about Maximum or Terminal Velocity.

Acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared or 9.8 meters per second squared (in a vacuum). Maximum velocity for an average person in free fall (in air) is 135 miles per hour.

Hi, my name is garricks and I am NOT smarter than a fifth grader. (LOL)
