CLOCKS....CATS....IS THIS ALICE IN WONDERLAND?!?!
AHHH! As procrastination has clearly taken over my Sunday, I feverishly attempted to finish all my homework assignments at the last moment. However, never wavering from my musical studies, I decided to take a musical study break to practice some of my orchestra music by the piano (studies have shown that Mozart makes you smarter--hasn't worked for me yet but I can still try) As I was practicing, I wonder what time it was to make sure that I wasn't falling behind on time and could successfully finish all my assignments. MY GOSH! The clock said it was 11 at night, but thats when that physics epiphany happened again! Meow-Mix DOC! was trying to speak to me at such a late hour.
This Cat Clock not only tells time, it shows simple harmonic motion and wave motion with its spring. Playing around with the spring, Meow-Mix DOC! showed me that it demonstrated longitudinal waves as well as transverse waves. At the same time, when I held the Cat Clock upside-down, Meow-Mix DOC! showed me that the spring stretched so that spring force was equivalent to the weight of the clock. WOW! It's like Meow-Mix DOC! and my physics teacher are one in the same.
Even when procrastinating, I was still learning and accomplishing my physics homework. Thanks Meow-Mix DOC! for your help with my procrastination and for making such good cat for over the years. Lesson of the week: Let's all procrastinate....tomorrow because you can accomplish stuff. DOC! if you're reading this, I bet you a dollar that you're wearing a shirt with a tie and long pants at this very instance.
