Yummy in the Tummy

So today, my sister, my cousin, and i decided to make some DESSERT!!! yum yum. this is the end. but when i was mixing to ingredients i realized that i was applying a force in the perpendicular motion to the mixer, thus applying torque. i noticed that if i held the mixer closer to the middle of the handle, i had more power and control whereas when i moved it towards the top, i had less control of it. this also demonstrates the balancing that we've been working on. as i move farther away from the CM, i lose balance, thus losing control of the mixer. ^.^

ohhh i took a picture of the Lazy Susan when i went to dinner at a Chinese restaurant named Imperial:

The picture above is of my girl cousins on the Chun side. When we're not at my popo's house, we go to Chinese restaurants--since we are Chinese. ^.^ Anyways, I was thinking what I could put in this week that pertains to the stuff we are currently learning. Then I was watching the food channel while i was thinking and then i was thinking of pe king duck and all that good stuff and then BAM! it came to me. THOSE LAZY SUSANS (those circular turning tables) AT CHINESE RESTAURANTS! It is a good thing that the food does not fly off when you spin those tables. How is that so? Well the friction of the table and food dishes help. and since you probably dont put that much velocity to the spin, the centripetal force is not that great so the friction ends up overcoming that force, thus the food stays on the table. What if there was a great velocity, do you think the food dishes would fly off the table? Maybe you should try it out...HAHA!
