any way to chart CPJ's twitter velocity?

Okay, so back to the original point. Velocity is a term that means the change of something over time. It doesn't matter if that is number of meters or number of twits. The change in velocity over time is acceleration. So we should really be looking at the second derivative and determining if CPJ will have time to actually coach football in the future.

i know it is hard for you to realize that when you watch NASCAR or race your vehicle in circles that you end up having travelled with no NET velocity. Let me assure you that this does not detract from your SPEED. Nor your INSTANTANEOUS velocities along the way, which we are happy that you get to experience (Go WracerX!!!)

however, a point has no length, and a circle is an infinitely sided polygon. that is just simply how they are defined by human scientist.

dont be sad that your NET is zero, it doesnt discount your thrilling speed. just like ending up with no money in vegas does not discount the money you won along the way and the thrills of that and the agonies of your defeats

but still, you are completely wrong in your assertions.

You never calculate velocity based on starting andnending point. It is always distance traveled and total time. It is path dependent.

Cosider traveling around a circle. Your starting and ending point are the same. Your velocity is constant clockwise. Your speed is constant. Neither is zero as a simple vector sum would indicate.

you might also note that when traveling in a circle you are accelerating, thus even if you are traveling at constant speed, your velocity is changing at every instant

A mass undergoing curved motion, such as circular motion, constantly accelerates toward the axis of rotation.

if it were not for the force your tires exerted on the track to keep you moving in a circle you would travel in a straight line (you experience this as the imaginary force commonly called "centrifugal" force "pushing you" toward your door, while in reality your body is merely attempting to travel in a straight line but the door is pushing it in a circle)

if you had a function to describe the position of a object (like your Miata) on a circular path (like a track), and then solved for the net velocity we would arrive at a null

A point has no length. A point doesn't have zero length. Points and lines of zero length are two distinct concepts in terms of number of dimensions.

Now, if I go from here to there at 2 L/T and come back at 1 L/T, my average speed is 1 1/3 L/T. My average velocity is not 0 L/T from here to somewhere, it would be 1 1/3 L/T from here to here (which makes it not a vector).

Sometimes, I can't tell when I'm trolling.

false. "something" over time is FREQUENCY, as i have stated any number of times, unless that "something" is a physical measurable and then we might assign another name.

energy/time is Power, not velocity.
wins/year is winning frequency, not velocity.
posts/day is posting frequency, not posting velocity

92, you are being highly unscientific and i venture to say nihilistic
 
CPJ's twitter velocity is zero because he doesn't text while driving. :biggrin:

By the way, I googled 'twitter velocity' and this thread was on the third page of results.

my example assumed CONSTANT SPEED around the circle, or at least SYMMETRICALLY CHANGING speed (meaning same speed at opposite sides of the circle for all points)
 
his twitter RATE or twitter FREQUENCY would indicate #/time; his Twitter VELOCITY would indicate how fast his tweets travers the distance from his phone/computer to your phone/computer which ARE some DEFINITE DISTANCE APART and the Tweet takes some measurable time to get to you.

right, my average velocity would be V clockwise.

And you are being quite obtuse. You should be arguing with Merriam-Webster.

"3
a: rate of occurrence or action : rapidity <the velocity of historical change — R. J. Lifton>

b: rate of turnover <the velocity of money"

I got all this.

But help me figure out the air speed velocity of a laden sparrow.

yes, this is sufficient for Georgie types and common folk. Yet we are Georgia Tech, an Institute of learning, a technical and science university - we have higher standards

your Idiot Velocity is approaching dangerous highs
 
sometimes i wish i could reach through my monitor and slam buzzczar into a locker

or give him a swirlie

i used to teach school. i sometimes had to give swirlies in the name of education

not only was it a good way to calm down the over-hormoned males looking at pubescent boobies all day, but also it allowed me to get in a few more physics lessons

1. the Coriolis force is a 'fictitious' force introduced because we are observing from an accelerating frame of reference (these are not actual frames like on a window, but rather means more like point of view - not like the porn). it influences which direction the water swirls (all other things being constant)

2. gravity and weight

3. rates of evaporation (as the student dries)

many more too!

what's your swallowing velocity, dumbass?
