Schwartz: (Points to Students) Ok, Your mom! //students are laughing and confused Student: How did you hear "your mom?" Student 2: I said Bob Student 1: I said mass 1 Schwartz: Oh, I probably combined those two and got "Your mom" //We then named the other mass "Sid" //So the rest of the springs and masses discussion contained quotes like: Schwartz: What is the mass of your mom? ... Schwartz: So we've got Sid attached to a spring attached to your mom attached to the wall with a spring! ... Schwartz: In what direction is the force experienced by your mom? ... Schwartz: When Sid is going in the positive direction, your mom wants to pull Sid back! //And of course, after the discussion, when Schwartz is erasing: Schwartz: We don't need your mom anymore!
