AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores a humorous and nonsensical relationship between mass and time using unconventional equations, such as "Fart = v2" and "Fg = weight." Participants question the validity of these equations, pointing out that they lack proper scientific grounding and units. The conversation highlights confusion over the relationship between force, velocity, and air resistance, particularly at terminal velocity. There is skepticism about the relevance of the equations presented, with some participants suggesting that a proportionality constant is needed for consistency. Overall, the thread illustrates the challenges of establishing a coherent relationship between mass and time in physics using unconventional logic.

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?
 
force of air resistance at terminal velocity

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.
