Espy is amazing o.o
can we all just cosplay all the people from shingeki.
I either want to be potato girl, hanjisan or mikasa
Tho again. Im too lazy to even try D:


Xy. I have no clue what you just said. Im too tired to try to comprehend x'D

Whoops. I just switched out. I have it saved, though! And we should totally do a group cosplay.

Group cosplay? OUO NATSU WANTS IN ON THIS

X'D I think id do potato girl Sasha
shes so adorbs.

I have this habit of doing really gory avatars...

Don't worry. In essence, I just whipped out my physics dick, hoping to sound smart with impressive jargon, even though I don't know the first thing about air resistance.

Well, terminal velocity with atmospheric pressure, or in a vacuum?

Small amounts of it like this are okay, I guess. I hate gore IRL, though. Too empathetic, so it makes my stomach feel...not so great.

Well, in a vacuum, there isn't really a terminal velocity. An object would continue accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2 until it hit the ground. Though, the farther an object is from Earth, the weaker gravity is, so... hm. If you set an object some distance from the Earth, you could probably calculate the velocity at which it would be moving once it reached the core, if it were allowed to fall. Perhaps if you took the limit as this distance approached infinity, you could get a sort of theoretical maximum speed of falling to Earth...

I... I might just take a stab at this.

The problem is, acceleration will always increase.

...Not actually sure if that IS a problem. I've been doing math the whole day and my brain's a bit fried.

Once again, my brother comes to the rescue. He reminded me about potential energy, and how it would be a lot simpler than the parade of integrals that was swimming through my mind moments ago. Then it occurred to me that, neglecting the atmosphere, the maximum velocity a falling object could achieve would be escape velocity, because escape velocity is basically the velocity required to break the gravitational bond between an object and planet Earth, to move it to "infinity". So if an object were to fall from "infinity", it would have that same velocity.

Well, sorry about that physics rant to no one in particular. I'll just disappear back the shadows, if you don't mind.

...You have a very good point.

I have come to the conclusion that Lunae hates me.

D: im sure that's not the case. It took me awhile to get registered as well
