First, I want to apologize for not getting a post out yesterday, I worked until 10pm and just didn't feel like using the computer when I got home (although it's not that valid of an excuse because I worked just as late tonight). Anyway, I'm not going to do a huge post tonight as I have to be at the Wodonga Middle Years College in the morning to meet with the teacher that I'll be spending the semester with during the in2science program. Exciting, to say the least.
I also got my physics and chemistry books that I've been craving oh-so badly. The semester for both subjects technically started last week, but the book store is slow and I haven't had any books, so consequently couldn't do any reading. I was happy to sit down and read the first couple of chapters of the chemistry book, which made me think of tonight's comic. I really wanted to do something simple because, as I said, it's late and I need to be up in the morning, so I hope you guys enjoy it, or at least get it.
And before you know it, she'll want to have quarks! |
I've also decided not to join the Golden Key Society, as I've heard far to many bad things about it to justify risking 90 of my dollars on it when I can barely afford food. Thanks to everyone that offered advice on the subject, I appreciate it.
So to finish off the post, another competition! It's simple enough, and I'm sure someone will get this very easily; just name the phenomenon that this picture is illustrating. I would also appreciate a short description on what's going on.
I'm all up in your planes, makin' dem fly, yo. |
Puh, thats hard.
ReplyDeleteWill be watching you as a fellow student trying to get into med. :P
ReplyDeleteummm.. can't get it :(
ReplyDeletesomething about trees?
ReplyDeletelooks like bernoulli's principle... difference in height changes the difference in velocity of the flow
ReplyDeleteAlmost there thuganomics, but I can't give it to you for that. The principle is correct, but the explanation isn't really, and I'm looking for the name of the effect happening.
ReplyDeletei lol'd at the comic hahaha
ReplyDeleteVenturi effect
ReplyDeletehaha i love nerdy humor :P
ReplyDeletegood luck on your journey im trying to get in PT school and that itself is too much for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that in the comic, florine? And hydrogen? Hydrogen flouride? Ack, acid!
ReplyDeleteWater always finds it's own level. You can't dictate this!
ReplyDelete:P i'm sure i gave people enough hints to let them wiki ti
ReplyDeletecant answer
ReplyDeleteMy fluids teachings is failing me.
ReplyDelete$90 is a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think we have a winner with burger! Although, I would have liked an explanation as to what is happening.
ReplyDeleteThat will probably come in my next post if no one cares to answer here.
hhaha love the comic
ReplyDeleteWhew! The first real application to the chemistry classes it took!
ReplyDelete"The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe." -Wiki :P
ReplyDeletecongrats burger
ReplyDeleteIt's funny one but true..
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the comic.
ReplyDeletemath blows my mind!
ReplyDeleteBernoulli's principle, right? My physics is a bit rusty...
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteIn addition: the comic made me spit on my monitor
its the shit box on a plane effect
ReplyDeleteive made it halfway through this semester with no books. trying to save some $$$
ReplyDeleteI just had flash backs of some sort of science class!
ReplyDeleteOH damn i hate physics. I'll be checking back soon! alphabetalife.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteVenturi! I remember that....guess I'm late :P
ReplyDeleteto bad the answer is given :P knew it too ^^
ReplyDeleteNever could have guessed that's Venturi . Because I have no clue what it is :)
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to admit I had no clue!!! lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a quarky strip. bad-um-tish
ReplyDeleteDamn your blogs... always making me feel unintelligent...
ReplyDeleteyeah man i have the same problem as that atom... toooo many women gettin attached...

i wouldve said it's a hydraulic effect, but i didn't know about the venturi principle...
ReplyDeleteI like the illustration, but I have no idea what all that math is about...
ReplyDeleteaww I missed the wiki action. *sad face*
ReplyDelete"before you know it, she'll want to have quarks"
ReplyDeleteI should be laughing...but the nerd side of me is lolling really hard. Nice joke
I used to know this, but I haven't studied in a long time
