When things have deeper meaning and they are seem to build on each other, it gives me a sense of comfort and understanding, and it’s makes me feel safe and protected. When I can’t find the good, I look past the bad and find what the outcome can provide me. I always try to pick out the good from the bad. I don’t believe I go through them because I deserve it or I should have to go through it – but I do believe I can gain something from my experiences. I believe that the thingsI go through have a purpose. Faith is the main building block of my experiences. The three blocks are experiences you go, through the way you cope with your experiences, and what you do as your outcome. I believe my foundation is within the community where I get to explore my faith. We had a lot of fun with the game!Īfter we played a few round, we sat together to talk about how Jenga is kind of like life.įor me, more than anything, Jenga reminds me of the importance of foundation. You had to be just as careful not to place the block on top in a way that might make the whole thing fall. It was funny to watch as people tried to find the right block to wiggle loose. And if it does, you’ll be a Jenga legend.Jazmin Allen-Gregory, Baptismal Statement March 6, 2022Ī few weeks ago, our youth group played a giant game of Jenga. This will decrease the normal force between them, as well as the frictional force.īold move? Sure. If you push the middle block ever so slightly up, you can move the upper stack up a little bit. The second trick is considerably more difficult, but it’s worth a shot. Couple it with the larger mass of the upper block, and there’s a decent chance it doesn’t move fast enough to topple over. If you make this push last only a fraction of a second, then the frictional force on the upper block doesn’t have enough time to get it moving. The million-dollar question, then, is how do you pull off the impossible move? You have two tricks at your disposal. If you aren’t careful, it will accelerate right off the top of the stack and tumble. That means there’s a horizontal force on the top block, and this force causes the block to accelerate. For every force, there’s an equal and opposite force. Yes, forces are an interaction between two things. How to Solve the Infuriating Viral Math Problem.How to Jump From a Moving Train Using Science.Now for the real problem: It’s not just that you have to push harder to get this block to accelerate-it’s that with a frictional force between the two blocks, there’s also a frictional force on the top block. You have to push that much harder to accelerate the block. There’s also a frictional force between the top and middle block. With a greater normal force, there’s a much greater frictional force. This means that the bottom surface has to push up with an even greater magnitude. So what makes this middle block so difficult? Well, since there’s a block on top (or many blocks), there’s an extra downward pushing force. Finally, there’s the backwards-pushing frictional force. This is called a “normal” force, since normal means perpendicular. Both the stack above and below the middle block push on it in a direction perpendicular to the surface. Next, there are the two interactions with the surfaces. The gravitational force (the weight) is the downward pulling force due to an interaction with the Earth.
