Is this is what happens when you don't assume a spherical cow?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I thought you're supposed to assume a vacuum.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Assume both otherwise we have to face center of gravity issues.

Maybe let the cow be a point mass?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That does tend to simplify the aerodynamics modeling

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Calculations are simpler if …….. you assume a spherical cow!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That is an assumption that a physicist would do.

[–] user1234 1 points 10 months ago

Cows can only be assumed to be spherical for thermodynamic purposes.

Reminds me of this gem

Thanks. If anyone in the future asks my opinion regarding breast size, I can safely say that a preliminary study has shown that, aerodynamically speaking, it is better to have large breasts.

Only if you’re facing the wind directly. In other orientations it may not be ideal. The analysis appears incomplete.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Allright, another qualifier to my statement it is. 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

This is fantastic, lol

As they say, knowledge is power, France is bacon.

Makes it look like this cow is speedy as fuck

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

i need to know its power level.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Is its drag coefficient better than a modern day SUV's?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Everything is better than modern day SUVs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's fuel efficiency sure is.

Turbulence in da ass

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

But is it more aerodynamic than a brick?

"...and at the quarter turn, odds fav Merry Bell is running a full length behind Morning Milk. Morning Milk won the Nickel Pasture Jaunt last week..."

"Against the twister, Betsy stands alone."

This is why my plan to put wings and a rocket on a cow actually made sense!

Take that, you luddite aspca goons! That cow would have revolutionized human travel!

Fetchez la vache!

It helps you aim when you decide to pull a Genghis Khan and launch them from catapults at your enemies

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I know what to do with this information!

Rotate it in my mind. It’s free. No one can stop me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Will this increase the quality of our weather and climate models?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You are steered for takeoff.
