The Physics Of Yeeting Babies

The Physics Of Yeeting Babies
High school physics teachers really be like "ignore air resistance" and then yeet a baby through the atmosphere. Sure, in a perfect vacuum that infant would follow a beautiful parabolic trajectory, but in reality it's more like "Hello, drag force, my old friend." This is why theoretical physicists should never be allowed to babysit. Their simplified models don't account for screaming or child protective services.

When Fairy Tales Meet Classical Mechanics

When Fairy Tales Meet Classical Mechanics
The fairy tale meets Newton's laws of motion in spectacular fashion! This meme brilliantly applies physics to Rapunzel's hair situation with a free body diagram showing what happens when her center of mass shifts as her hair extends. As her lengthy locks grow outward, the moment arm increases, creating a torque that eventually causes her to catapult out of the tower at high velocity. The prince's shocked face as he witnesses his rescue attempt turn into a human ballistic missile is priceless. Conservation of angular momentum waits for no fairy tale princess!

From Baby Talk To Ballistics

From Baby Talk To Ballistics
From proud parent to physics problem in 0.2 seconds! ๐Ÿš€ When someone asks about your baby's age in months instead of years, they're secretly setting you up for a ballistics experiment. The parent went from "my precious angel" to "projectile with initial velocity" real quick! This is exactly why physicists shouldn't be allowed to babysit - everything becomes a trajectory calculation opportunity. The baby's first flight lesson wasn't supposed to be today, but here we are, calculating launch angles! ๐Ÿ’ซ
