Cookie Friction: The Uncontested King of Baking Physics
The age-old question: what happens when a cookie meets its demise in the presence of an unyielding surface? Does it crumble into oblivion, or does it bounce back like a cookie-shaped trampoline?
Experiment 1: Cookie on a Flat Surface
Our team of cookie physicists placed a single cookie on a flat surface, and observed the results.

Experiment 2: Cookie on a Slope
We took the same cookie and placed it on a steep incline. Did it roll away, or did it defy the laws of physics?

Experiment 3: Cookie in a Vacuum
We placed a cookie in a vacuum chamber, and observed its behavior in the absence of air resistance.
