Make Friends with Gravity

This cyclist must make better friends with gravity. 9.8 meters per second is the speed of gravity. And that is also the speed that you don't like when falling from a bicycle. Of course, you don't want to try. So DON'T. And don't do anything daredevil like in the animation below.

Cheryl's Birthday Problem (from SASMO 2015) and Solution

Image
Hello! Nat here, and in this blog, I am going to discuss and give the solution to the famous Cheryl birthday problem. This was popular because it is a difficult logic puzzle and involving the ability of carefully tracking down hints in the conversation and working with only a small amount of data. Here’s the question: Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates. May 15           May 16           May 19 June 17          June 18 July 14           July 16 August 14       August 15       August 17 Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively. Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard doesn’t know too. Bernard: At first I don’t know whe...

What is Inertia?

Image
Have you ever felt like you are being pushed forward when your car brakes suddenly? This is caused by inertia. Inertia is a tendency of an object to maintain its speed. In other words, the object wants to keep a constant speed. If you push a brick along the floor (assuming there is no friction) , then the brick will go on and on and on until someone stops it. Maybe you might want to complain: But when I move bricks across the floor in real life, then why does it keep stopping? This is because there is opposing force acting on the brick known as friction. Friction is a force that is caused by rubbing 2 objects together. It can also create heat. Long time ago, people said that objects have a tendency to stop. Then, in the 1700s, Sir Isaac Newton discovered inertia and proposed that objects actually have a tendency to maintain their speed. Eventually, this is also another of Newton’s laws. I’m quite sure that I will continue to make blogs about physics, science, theo...

Passengers the Movie : Space Journey to Another Planet

Image
On Christmas day, I watched a movie that I really like. The movie was titled Passengers. It was a drama science fiction movie about a journey of a spacecraft called Avalon to an Earth-like planet named Homestead 2. Since the trip took 120 years, all the 5000 people aboard must be put into cryonic sleep. The sleeping pod would awaken automatically just before they arrived in destination planet. The idea is mind blowing and I wouldn’t mind to be involved in such a quest. But at thirty years, a giant asteroid crashed and destroyed the spaceship’s bow shock. Most of the equipment has been auto repaired but one cryonics capsule is still malfunctioned and the person inside awoke. At first he was confused because nobody else was awake. A robot introduced him everywhere. Then he went into the planetarium. He asked the computer: “where is homestead 2?” the computer replied:  “90 light years away” it was then he realized that he woke up too early! He lived alone for 1 year a...
