I was just doing some physics homework when...

First of all: Miata! One of those textbook-writing assholes must be a jalop and therefore less of an asshole! Second: Why the hell are you throwing a tomato out of your Miata while going 60 miles per hour? What kind of hooliganism is our jalop textbook-writer trying to encourage among the impressionable youth studying AP Physics? Third: Why the hell are you trying to land the tomato BACK INTO YOUR CAR? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I've never tried to catch a falling tomato while driving 60 mph in a Miata but it sure doesn't sound easy. Anyway, the car has moved 53.6 feet if my math is correct.

It's actually a required step to get your SCCA license.

Studying for AP chem test (or should be) as we speak. Serious lack of jalopness in Chemistry.

I never took even high school physics, so maybe I'm missing something, but I know that if I threw a tomato in the air while travelling 60 mph, it'd land on the road behind me.

Because school is designed to apply to irrelevance and unrealistic systems. Because, why use the collective mind of many to do anything useful?

The good kind of hooliganism. I am absolutely sure that thats tthe answer.

They're completely ignoring air resistance, which is ok when you're, say, dropping a ball from your hand, but it becomes a HUGE factor at freeway speeds. Mr. jalop textbook-writing asshole might be a jalop, but apparently he's not an engineer. Or it's just dumbed down so the problem isn't too hard, which is much more likely.

That was me all of last year. I slightly overcompensated by spending most of the classes playing a pirated copy of an old need for speed game which had been hacked to work on my mac. Needless to say, the nights before tests were always lots of fun. I've welcomed the slightest hint of jalopness that peeks through from time to time in physics.

This must be the same illustrator whose textbooks include picture-perfect side profiles of F-bodies, K5 Blazers, and Klingon Birds-of-Prey. Not just a Jalop, but a detail-oriented geek par excellence.

I was hoping they would be throwing it into the other convertible in front of them :(

Speak for yourself.

I think throwing tomatoes out of a Miata is incredibly useful.

Oh yeah, my dumbass always fails to see the true meaning and purpose of things. lol
