Bouncy castles

If you put Tigger on a bouncy castle would he bounce twice as high or would the bounces cancel out and he'd just sit there?

Depends, if you chucked him in head first he would bounce same as anyone else.

Ar5e first, he'd probably bounce straight out again!

This surely depends on the frequency of his bounces and the ability of the bouncy castle to match that frequency with out a resonance setting in. Also if the bouncy castle provides a damping effect the frequency may well drop as energy from his bounces is removed. There are too many unknowns in the question to formulate a working theory.

So we need to know the frequency of Tigger bounces, the resonance of the bouncy castle and the damping effect it would have before the equations can be worked through.

This may help.

Also depends on the definition of a "Bouncy Castle"

Of course if it was one of those fully enclosed types would he keep going ad infinitum?

If it was fully enclosed we'd not know whether he was bouncing or not, or indeed whether he was alive or not!

Wtf

What starts as a random question turns existentialist and challenges whether if you can't see tigger is he still bouncing?

I'll put my money on him bouncing twice as high.

Depends on a number of factors...

Is the castle inflated?

Is is in the Hundred Acre Wood? In which case any bounce might be counterbalanced if a heffalump was also bouncing on the bouncy castle at the same time

Is Roo allowed on the bouncy castle at the same time unsupervised or is that not permitted until a proper risk assessment has been carried out by Eeyore?

No he would not, friction from the air would eventually cause him to feel tired and as he grew more tired, his bounces would be less efficient.

Also, the the continued bounces would also lose energy to the bouncy castle through heat of friction of his landings, this would be part of the damping effect. There are numerous energy losses, although removing the atmosphere would reduce some of them, it would also prevent further input from Tigger due to his expiration.

I do not recall that Eeyore was ever the appointed responsible person for health and safety, can it be confirmed if he has the relevant training for such a task and that he has not just been given the role as a way to avoid prosecution under health and safety law? I believe that his Union can provide training if he is a union confirmed Health and Safety Rep . Also bare in mind that every person who enters the bouncy castle environment is also responsible for carrying out their own immediate health and safety check.

Wtf?



Just imagined putting the bouncy castle inflator in reverse to suck all the air out and poor ol' Tiggers rear shock disappearing up his own ar5e....'ell of a recoil!
