Curling

[The1crazymike9]

I have no idea how to play this game

[kazooks1]

even though Kris8144 has removed all his comments, i can still totally imagine what he was saying, XD

[kdog09able]

I liked the video until your fucking face got in the way! Gosh damn! It was like having your wife take the remote and change the channel so some fuckinng cooking show

[oOrhyianOo]

most Rtarded Sh*T ever!!

[MikeTheTeacher]

Around 2:06 and again at 3:04 someone starts screaming and just wil not stop. Gotta love it.

[TroutFink]

I hope you failed that physics class.

[Predatorocks]

Curling reminds me of the game Rebound on Ice.

[DustyDinkleman26]

WTF i wanna watch curling not your face!

[Larkvall]

What happened? Why did you cut the last shot?

[kris8144]

you got alot of things wrong you dont sweep to change its course you sweep to keep the rock moving longer and straighter. I also wouldnt agree thats curling at its finest you should have shown us (the canadians) throw some rocks like mark nichols making a run back triple... that was curling at its finest.. finally the goal is to not get as close as possible anywhere in the house if fine to score however if the opposing team has a rock closer then your own that rock scores a point.. do you curl?

[foil1212]

No, I don't. It was a physics project from 3 years ago. And, if you were adding filler for a bad physics project, wouldn't YOU say it's the finest curling ever? But, whatever. It's all good.

[kris8144]

well sure but i would find better curling lol u kinda make the sport look bad by putting uninteresting curling up and saying its at its finest lol but dont worry im just concerned for my sport alot of people critisise me for it

[ttowntom]

Well a year late on this correction, but you sweep to keep the rock moving AND to change its course. You can do both.

[ttowntom]

Are you hearing what you're saying: "you can't change its direction, but you can keep it straighter". Sweeping DOES change its course, by preventing the rock from curling (hence the name)

On a physics note, the "heat" from your sweeping is not what melts the ice. It's primarily the pressure that does it...ice melts under sufficient pressure, no matter what temperature it is.

[ttowntom]

Now you're arguing semantics. By sweeping, you can prevent the rock from curling. Had you not swept, the rock would have changed its course, and deviated to a somewhat different path.

If you prefer to say, "by sweeping, you prevent the rock from otherwise changing its direction", feel free. Six is still half a dozen.

[ttowntom]

Kris, coming from a degree in physics, I'm sorry to tell you that you're wrong. Ice melts under pressure, at temperatures *lower* than 0C, its normal melting point. It's how glaciers can "flow" around objects as they move, despite temperatures many degrees below zero.

[ttowntom]

Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.

You CAN turn ice to water at 0C...you can turn ice to water at temperatures much lower than 0C. Try googling "pressure melting" or "glacial processes" and see what comes up, my callow little friend.

[ttowntom]

And to correct another one of your errors, even in the absence of pressure, ice and water can both coexist at 0C. For water to become ice at that temperature, it must first give up its latent heat (heat of fusion). Similarly, for ice at 0C to become water at 0C, it must gain the same amount of heat..

[ttowntom]

I don't know whether you're being intentionally obtuse or not, but for the last time-- it's not the HEAT from sweeping, its the PRESSURE.

The same reason skaters can skate....the pressure their blades put on the ice, pressure that exists whether or not they're moving (and generating heat from friction).

[ttowntom]

Perhaps English isn't your native language? I was very clear. When a skater isn't moving, they're obviously not generating heat from friction. Yet their skate blades are still resting on a very thin layer of water...water that lubricates the two surfaces, and allows them to skate with negligible friction.

Now please, stop embarrassing yourself. Even a chimpanzee can eventually learn from its mistakes.

[lardmonk]

yes we realize you are trying very hard to sound intelligent

[foil1212]

No. It was just a school project.

[allzetime]

wow...curling at its finest my ass. I can imagine you dont curl

[foil1212]

That's right, I KILLED HIM! D:

And now he's decomposing in my BACKYARD!

(I'm still amazed people actually watched my physics project...)

[Bartic23]

Omg there some one DEAD in back of him!

(watch it till when hes sittitng on a chair)

[therusskey]

sorry kids, but the physics needs work.. the words are all right, but the way you apply them needs to be rethought.

[NDSteelersFan]

Nice explanation of the physics of curling. Wish you had shown Pete Fenson's last skip rock, though. Hoping to see one of Pete's famous draw-to-the-button shots. Thanks for the vid, though.

[foil1212]

lol we got an A. And that was my physics teacher's head on han solo, Mr Klein...

[NDSteelersFan]

Good job on getting the "A"!
