Summer Trip

This past summer, my family and I took a trip to Japan. While we were there, we visited various temples honoring various gods and ancient deities. Before entering the temple, we were required to wash our hands with water that would cleanse our hands and keep us pure. At the time, because I wasn't taking physics, I didn't realize that the droplets of water falling from above us at the temple were actually projectiles fallling at the same acceleration due to gravity. When the droplets landed in our cup, they came to rest due to the upward force of the cup. Although some of the droplets did not fall into the cup, we eventually caught enough droplets to wash our hands. It was kinda awkward at first trying to catch water from a source we couldn't see but we got used to it.
