If This Thing Falls...O_O

Recently, we have been having some trouble with our internet. To fix our problem, my dad told us to put our antenna thingy way up high so that it might have a a better chance of picking up a signal. My mom heard this and took it to an extreme...This is the result...

The antennae is now precariously perched on a plastic thing which is on a stack of CD's which is on some black thing which is on my dad's computer which is on my dad's desk (Ignore the mess). In all, this antenna is about 5 feet up there which equals about 1.5 meters.

This thing has a lot of potential energy (Okay well not a lot, but I think it has a lot because there's a high chance of falling...>_O). I'd say that thing weighs about 250 grams which is .25 kilograms. So, since potential energy equals mgh, (.25)(1.5)(9.8), the potential energy of this antenna is 3.675 Joules. Okay, it's really not that much. Haha. Fail me.

If this thing were to fall, it would have kinetic energy, which is a different story, and I would rather not go there...First of all, my parents would probably get mad if I pushed the antenna over, and second, I'd be mad because then I wouldn't have internet. :]

Sorry about the super lame post. I promise a better one for next week!
