Does buttered toast always land on the side with the butter on it?
No, the odds are 50/50 that the toast will land with the buttered side up.
What does this quote mean-bread'll take butter on either side?
Bread will take butter on either side because butter is heavier. If you have a slice of toast, with butter on one side, butter-side will land face-down. Gravity...
Because of torque and the height of most tables how is buttered toast most likely to land?
buttered side down
If superstitions were true then what would happen if you tied a piece of buttered toast to a cats back and dropped it?
This isn't really a superstition. It is said that a cat always lands with his feet on the ground (not true, by the way), and it is said that when you drop a piece of buttered toast it always lands butter side down (not true either). So if you tied a piece of buttered toast butter side up to a cat, the cat would of course spin all the way down. It's a joke, not a superstition.
Does toast with jelly land jelly side down more often than not?
Yes, because the jelly makes the toast heavier on the top, which spins it round to face gravity (falling)
Why does toast fall on the jam side down?
That's Murphy's Law. Toast always falls on the jam side because that side's the heaviest!
Why does toast fall butter side down?
When toast falls, it tends to rotate in the air. Due to the weight distribution of the bread and the height from which it falls, it is more likely for the buttered side to end up facing down. This phenomenon is a result of a combination of physics factors, including gravity and angular momentum.
What would happen if you strapped a buttered piece of toast to a cat will the cat keep revolving in mid air because it wants to land on its feet and the toast wants to land butter side down?
The cat will land on its feet. Logically speaking, the toast is already anchored to the cat, and so it has no need or desire to land anyplace. It is a blessing that this keeps the cat from eternal mid-air revolutions no matter what side of the toast is facing the cat. If the buttered side is cat-side, then the toast's experience is that it has already fallen and has landed properly. Many of the laws of physics have this beautiful kind of symmetry. The "flip-side" is that if this symmetry were not present in the laws of buttered-toast physics, then we would have an infinite source of energy in the form of revolving cats. JonnyD Here:the cat and toast would spin creating a vaccuum in space sucking everything up and putting the earth in a void in space crating a black hole which would then take us off the map of the universe and all the other planets would laugh at us because they already knew what would happen.
Why does a piece of toast with jelly on it hit face down on the floor?
The weight distribution of the toast makes it more likely to land jelly-side down due to its top-heavy nature. When dropped, it rotates quickly and the jelly side ends up facing downward as gravity pulls it towards the floor.
Does toast always fall with the buttered side down?
yah
How come every time you drop a salted peanut it goes under the settee?
It's called Sod's Law or the Law of Cussedness. This law also applies to buttered toast. Every time you drop a slice of buttered toast it lands butter side down.
Does butterology work?
No. The Mythbusters tested it, and recorded an even split of butter-side-up to butter-side down.
