Yesterday, I believe, my physics teacher was talking about a problem involving a car accelerating at just the right rate to stop before hitting a wall. He mentioned that he thought that this was a dangerous thing to do, for a variety of reasons: what if the brakes didn't work properly, or you ran over a squirrel, which changed the coefficient of friction.... During lunch today, some people were discussing possible T-shirts to be created at the end of the year for AP classes (people sometimes do this). Someone said that the AP physics shirt should have a picture of a squirrel saying, "Don't run me over! I could change the coefficient of friction."

There was a squirrel in the SOA. So don't drive there.
