Fart = v2

Fart = Fg

Therefore, Fg = v2

Fg = weight

Fg = may

v2y = may

v = square root of ma

v = at

square root of ma = at

the a's cancel out and I'm left with square root m = t


m=mass , t=time , Fg=force of gravity , v=velocity , y=yaxis , ar=air resistance , art=air resistance at terminal velocity , a=acceleration

This is obviously wrong, but what makes it so? As long as it is at terminal velocity and at y axis, in other words, uniform motion, there is obviously no way to come to terms with a relationship between mass and time, right?

You lost me at the first line.

Fart = v2

Are you stating that the force from the air resistance on an object is equal to its velocity squared? Where did you get this relationship from?
 
Fractal314 said:
force of air resistance at terminal velocity

According to who or what law? Do you have a reference or a source for this equation?
 
This is a gag thread, right? We don't generally deal with the dynamics of farts here.
 
This is probably completely unrlated but did I see somewhere distance being the squarroot of time?
 
In order for the first relationship to hold you need to throw in a proportionality constant with the correct units to make that a consistent statement. Force does not have the same units as velocity squared so something is missing.
