- | The Empire is in distress after the destruction of the Deathstar. While the rebels are celebrating their success, some of the best engineers in the galaxy are working with Darth Vader and the Emperor | + | Craig and Tom are the leading physicist at their respective research facilities. |
- | One of the workers suggests that instead of using Kyber Crystals to power a laser, they make use of the giant spring and balls of waste that they have. Vader is unsure of how effective this will be, and believes that the amount of energy they need can only be achieved by the laser, but the Emperor has become a bit addled from all the force lightning coursing through his veins believes this to be a great idea. This new version of the Deathstar includes a gravitational field dampener which prevents itself and any planet close to it having a gravitational force. | + | - m< |

- | The Sith Lords decide that they will test their weapon on the planet of Tatooine (Tatooine has a $\omega$ of $6.7 * 10^{-20}$), because Vader detests sand due to is coarseness, irritation and how it gets everywhere $(m = 5.0 * 10^{22} kg, r = 1.0 * 10^8m).$ | + | __**Part 1: Tom's Up**__ |
+ | There is only the 8-ball remaining. | ||
- | The ball of solid waste has a radius of $25m$, and is constructed of scraps of Mandalorian iron $(\rho = 8050 kg/m^3)$. The spring that you're launching | + | Assuming there is no friction, Tom needs to figure out how fast and at what angle the cue ball needs to travel in order to get the 8-ball into the top right corner pocket. |

+ | Tom, while a brilliant physicist, missed his shot, setting Craig up with the perfect opportunity to win the match and claim his prize. | ||
+ | |||
+ | __**Part 3: Physicists just cant shoot pool**__ | ||
+ | It turns out Craig blew his shot as well. The judges decided they didn't want to be here all day, so they decided to offer a challenge: Both Tom and Craig were to calculate the angular momentum of the cue ball from Tom's solution relative to the 8-ball before the collision and the rotational angular speed of the 8-ball after the collision. Whoever has the best solution gets the Nobel with a warning to keep their prize money away from pool halls. | ||
