OPEN LAB

Study the following problem:

 

Why toast lands jelly-side down?

"Is it due to Newton's Laws or to Murphy's* Laws that

a piece of toast gently knocked off a table always lands jelly-side down?"

 

Newton's Laws: you should know by now...

*Fundamental Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will"

Other Murphy's Laws (No, you do not need to know them for the final exam)

 

Open Lab means that there are no "Lab Instructions" about the methods, techniques, scope, etc., of your investigations.

 

Your group decides how to: study the problem, look for references, request available lab equipment, document your work, use theory and/or simulations to understand the problem, etc.

But you must create an Interactive Physics simulation of the falling toast problem using the instructions below:
