The Answers in the Back of the Book (Don Paolo gen)
Title: The Answers in the Back of the Book
Length: 359 words
Prompt: Professor Layton (Anon) Fan Meme: Don Paolo and science.
Pairing: Don Paolo gen
Other: crack!fic
Excerpt: Supposedly, Paolo taught physics. When he wasn't being obsessive and creepy (or, rather, in-between obsessive and creepy periods), he lectured in a loud, heavy voice.
Professor Paolo's students knew the story of his life intimately. The man tended to ramble at the best of times and would often sidle into class with another fanciful tale about the defeat of his rival.
The students fought over who had to sit in the front row, in the first line of fire. Paolo was a passionate speaker. He stared them in the eye, he spit when he talked, and he stumped back and forth, pointing his finger at them at random times. A front-row student learned how to use his books as a shield.
And they all knew never to wear a hat. One sacrificial victim every year proved the folly of that.
Supposedly, Paolo taught physics. When he wasn't being obsessive and creepy (or, rather, in-between obsessive and creepy periods), he lectured in a loud, heavy voice, skipping over material and stumbling with the names of laws and postulates. He knew them all and had the teacher idea that his students should all already know them as well.
The kicker to getting him fired, in the end, was the tests he gave. A truly frightened student brought one to the dean, smuggling it out at his own expense.
1. Don Paolo's fist travels towards Layton's nose at an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Assuming that Don Paolo's fist has a mass of 70kg behind it, what is the force that strikes Layton's face?
2. If the Laytonmobile weighs 1.3 tons, and sits on a precarious cliff 600 m above the seaside, how much potential energy does it have?
3. The Laytonmobile is pushed off the cliff by person or persons unknown (certainly not Don Paolo). Assuming gravity is a constant force of 9.8 m/s2, how much kinetic energy does it have before it strikes the ground, unavoidably killing everyone inside?
EXTRA CREDIT: Calculate the length of time it would take for the car from problems 2 and 3 to fall. Offer a theoretical alibi for the person or persons unknown.
After the dean saw that, well... Paolo just had one more thing to blame Layton for. And plenty of time to calculate revenge schemes.

1. F = 140 N
2. PE = 7.644 x 106 J
3. KE = 6.24 x 104 J
