also tumblr is the most rewarding place to do literary analysis because in academic papers you get peer recognition and approval but on tumblr you get gay people in the tags telling you they want to kiss you passionately with tongue because you recognize and understand themes and motifs
if i dropped a whale and a mouse from 50,000 feet in the air to a concrete landing – I do want to be clear that, ethically, I’m against doing this, but let’s say I wasn’t – would the mouse or the whale take the most damage? like, percentage wise?
The whale by a huge margin. The whale would absolutely, 100% die and be splattered all over.
The mouse might survive.
Both would have reached terminal velocity, which depends on mass and surface area – and a whale has much larger values than a mouse for both of those 🙂
Terminal Velocity: once you reach this speed, you don’t get any faster. Mice terminal velocity is very low, and whales is very high.
An average mouse weighs a mere 25 grams (0.05lbs) and has a surface area of 78 sq cm. That results in a mouse’s terminal velocity being about 25 ft/sec which is about the speed a skydiver falls with an open parachute. Compare that to a human skydiver whose terminal velocity is about 170 ft/sec prior to the parachute opening.
What if as well as the whale we also drop a houseplant
