Fun fact: if you take the displacement between your current position and the exact place where you were born, and divide it by your age, you can get your average velocity
nobody says 32 months
She also likes extra apostrophes.
Or is “month’s” a contraction of something?
Ts ts ts. Not metric enough.
The only useful miles is Miles O’brien.
What about Miles Prower?
We don’t have metric months, only imperial month’s. Yeah, you can convert them, but I don’t want to deal with the number of bee wing flaps per 13,7 minutes at sea level right now.
Metric is for people who don’t have a floating point coprocessor in their head.
Yeah it’s so useful to know the division table of the units so you can break it down, like how a mile is 1760 yards so I know that half a mile is… uh…
Guess that’s why the text uses decimal point miles.
Velocity is speed in a given direction. She only calculated speed.
Also, air resistance was acting on the baby immediately after it left the hands accelerating it. So was she reporting peak speed or the speed several feet away as shown in the frame of the comic. Additionally, she could have easily avoided this ambiguity if she stated the hypothetical speed of the baby being as if it was thrown in a vacuum, but she didn’t do that either. Its just pure laziness really.
Assuming the baby is a spherical point mass in a vacuum is so 101.
spherical point
That’s a new kind of math, definitely not 101.
Sphere with radius zero. Problem solved 🤣
Point mass for rotational inertia, sphere for air resistance.
also, reaction time for the average human is around 300ms, and, since you can only measure speed after looking at it for at least a little bit, which makes this even more undefined: is that the speed where she started perceiving the throw, the time she completed the calculation or the time she finished spelling it out?
Looks pretty young for a 32 m.o.
She couldn’t even get the plural of “month” correct, you want her to know the difference between months and weeks?
That’s physics though.
