Air Resistance Is Negligible

Behold the physics family drama! Acceleration is the proud parent of Velocity, which makes perfect sense since acceleration is literally the rate of change of velocity over time. In physics terms, if you differentiate position, you get velocity. Differentiate again, and BOOM—acceleration! So technically, acceleration doesn't "raise" velocity... it creates it! It's like the ultimate physics parent saying "I made you what you are today!" And velocity is just standing there looking all cool and fast, probably thinking "whatever, I'm just gonna keep moving in a straight line until something acts on me." Newton's first law teenage rebellion at its finest!

The pandemic really humbled the physics community! While biologists and chemists were front and center battling COVID-19, developing vaccines and treatments, physicists were suddenly... not the heroes of the scientific narrative. For decades, physicists dominated scientific discourse with their grand unified theories and particle accelerators, often looking down on "softer" sciences. Then COVID hit, and suddenly those biochemistry classes everyone skipped became pretty darn important. Nothing like a global pandemic to make you realize that understanding proteins might be slightly more urgent than string theory. The physicists' collective "perhaps I treated you too harshly" is basically science's version of "sorry I was a jerk in high school, you're actually cool now."

The frog is defying gravity by climbing a wall, but the goat explains the physics with the equation μN ≥ mg, which is the fundamental friction inequality. For something to stick to a wall, the friction force (μN) must be greater than or equal to the gravitational force (mg). The goat isn't impressed because... well, goats can climb nearly vertical surfaces naturally due to their specialized hooves! Their friction coefficient is basically a cheat code in the physics engine of life. The frog's shocked expression in the final panel is priceless - outsmarted by a goat who doesn't need fancy sticky pads to defy gravity.

The quantum physics nightmare we all fear! Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy confronting Peter Griffin about forgetting to divide by the square root of A-squared when normalizing a wavefunction. It's that classic moment when your video game hero breaks into your bedroom to scold you for messing up basic quantum mechanics. Normalizing wavefunctions is CRUCIAL in quantum mechanics—it ensures the probability of finding a particle somewhere in space equals 1 (because, you know, it has to exist SOMEWHERE). Forget that r^2 factor and suddenly your particle has a 500% chance of existing! No wonder Cloud is disappointed. Even fictional characters have higher quantum standards than some of us!

The tears you shed reading Richard Feynman's books are just the warm-up exercise for the quantum-level suffering you'll experience in his actual physics courses! 🤓 His famous "Feynman Lectures on Physics" have sent generations of students spiraling into existential crises while simultaneously making them fall in love with the universe. It's like Stockholm syndrome, but with partial differential equations! The man could explain quantum electrodynamics with stick figures, but his exams would make Einstein reach for a stress ball. 💥🧠

Theoretical physicists: "The multiverse theory suggests infinite parallel universes exist!" Everyone else: "Cool, can we see evidence?" Physicists: "That's the neat part—we can't!" The cat's mind-blown expression perfectly captures how we all feel about untestable scientific theories. In some universe, this cat understands string theory... just not this one!
