Okay, so I wasn't away for that long, but it felt like millennia. I haven't really been anywhere, it's just that I realized that I had about two weeks of physics and chemistry work that I haven't even started, so I got to it over the last few days. It wasn't really complicated stuff, as it was just an introduction to both the subjects which mainly meant mathematics, atomic theory and scientific method and measurements revision; easy stuff. On the subject of beginner physics, I bring you my newest comic.

For those of you who don't know the Σ symbol means sum of and the F means forces. When something is not moving, the sum of all forces acting upon it are not netting any movement in any direction, so ΣF=0. So the comic is saying that the sum of forces (choosing between the cake and the ice cream) acting of the little fatty is equaling zero. Funny, right?
That's enough of that, I now come to last posts' winner; Burger! Burger correctly stated the venturi effect in regards to my drawing in my last post. A quick explanation about the effect is this; when a substance is traveling at a faster speed, it is at a lower pressure and the venturi tube (as illustrated) demonstrates this. When a non-compressible fluid is traveling through a pipe of a particular size at a particular rate and then subjected to a narrowing of the pipe, the velocity of the liquid must increase to maintain the same rate of flow. As a result of this increase in speed, there is a notable decrease in pressure of the fluid, as is evident in the difference in levels of the fluid on the vertical pipes.
As promised, I drew a picture just for Burger. I apologize for not doing anything more intricate, I really could not think of what to do. Anyway, I hope you like it!

I think it's time to get back into physics for a little while before I get some sleep. Thanks again for reading!
Nice calligraphy.

Unless a body is already moving without any forces acting upon the body, the body still moves.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should have added that, thanks for reminding me though.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is in her 2nd year of surgery residency. She used to be on the student committee to give advice and talks to college kids who wants to go into med school. If you have any questions on how to improve your chances, feel free to post on my blog and I will pass it along to her.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, following!
Shouldn't it just be just F? because there is only one source, the fat guy. or is it the F of both the sweets? Anyway this made me lol.
ReplyDeleteI feel so stupid having to have a joke explained to me haha.
ReplyDeleteYay your back, this makes me happy
ReplyDeleteChris, I'll definitely be taking advantage of your offer.
ReplyDeleteStare Dad, yes it is both of the sweets acting as forces.
That burger has a face.
ReplyDeleteLagavulin is generally pretty highly rated. Problem is, being from Islay Scotland, it is extremely peaty (meaning smoky) in flavor. For a beginner, this may be overwhelming. People compare it to be drinking a cigar. Some people like it, some people dont. Hit or miss imho. If you do drink it, consider adding some water or even ice to it.
ReplyDeleteSorry for stupidly assuming you are from America. I will pass along your question to my wife and get back to you
Haha I love it!
ReplyDeleteFunny math joke. I laughed, and I had to bite my tongue to prevent a portal joke from coming out.
ReplyDeletegood luck with physics and chemistry
ReplyDeleteThat is one tasty looking burger..
ReplyDeleteI feel so clever when I get nerd humour.
ReplyDeleteNot this time however ; /
EPIC :D troll physic is epic :D
ReplyDeletefollowed :)
Well played...well played indeed!
ReplyDeletemakes perfect sense, except for the burger part :)
ReplyDeleteLOL @Logar's comment because i felt the same way
ReplyDeleteNice post.
ReplyDelete+following :)
the detail of your burger drawing actually made me crave a burger...

I love eating hamburgers.
ReplyDeleteawesome love the comic and the burger drawing
ReplyDeleteAy good one! i majored in physics, so this was funny LOL.
ReplyDeleteahaha great comic! welcome back
ReplyDeleteAn artiste, certainly!
ReplyDeleteClearly, the correct response is to roll forward, grab the cake and icy-cream mid-tumble, and then enjoy both in an effort to combat the spontaneous use of energy.
Really cool post. Want a hamburger now
ReplyDeleteuhh.. I don't like physics. Too many formulas and all that.
ReplyDeleteThat comic was pretty funny... after explaining it...
ReplyDeleteHaha funny pic
ReplyDeleteHilarious comic :D.
ReplyDeletehaha, good comic. my first thought was that the cake is a lie.
ReplyDeleteNice comic, made me laugh.
ReplyDeletethe burger is winning
ReplyDeleteAn overwhelming dose of awesome can be found in my 4th electro set! Check it

Loved the comic! and Welcome back ! :)
ReplyDeletefirst of all, that "easy stuff" you described doesn't sound very easy to me. secondly, great post! after you explained it i thought it was funny.
