High School Science Panda

this panda has a better understanding of gravity than the people who would ordinarily use a slide like that... Doubt you'll find many under the age of say, 12, who actually know that equation or what it means.

True that. But I can´t seem to find a possible good reason for 12 y/o to know the formula of gravitational pull.. Or anything in mayor physics -> implying hat the Panda actually understands anything.
Image very related.

because correcting somebody who is wrong makes someone holier than thou?

shut up knuckles

youre just an echidna, you dont understand philosophy

MY LIFE WAS DEVOTED TO PROTECTING A ROCK

oh i see carry on then

Also it's not a formula, it's a constant. which isn't actually constant

It's the value for the average gravitational field strength for Earth, and thus the acceleration due to gravity.

Technically, what you have there is just a formula to find that gravitational force between two objects. The number given in the picture is the "gravitational constant" or accleration of graivity on earth

nope, gravitational constant is G = 6.67 x 10^11.

that there is g = 9.82 m/s^2. which is GM/r^2 where r is roughly the radius of earth

Woops, G = "6.67x10^-11" though, not +11, but yeah you get the point

but g can still be considered a constant of gravity on earth...

shit, you're right. forgot the '-'

but no, g cant be considered a constant of gravity. it is a constant, but it is the acceleration due to gravity

Actually it is just:


(Mass of the Panda)(9.81m/s^2)sin(Angle of the Slide) = Force in the Y direction

It can vary between cos/sin depending on where you want the axis.

BY GOD, i can understand you entirely as i am taking AP Physics right now.....
