Description
Learning is magic.And physics is awesome. You should totally take it.
EDIT: I had no idea what EQD was going to do with this, but apparently they put it in their Episode 100 Follow Up !

I saw that in Silver Quill's video.
That just broke my brain :v

So much math... Math is magic, I guess. Also, the force diagram is also called a free body diagram.

Just an engineering degree. ^ ^

I was wondering why my views for this piece have gone up. Can you link me to that episode please?

Really nice work. Now onward to the next level: special relativity!

Good luck!

Kudos to you man! I wonder where the Doctor thought he was going with all this

Thanks. Well, the physics is legit, but most people just enjoy throwing a heavy object down the lane and going from there.

Yep - you're either a serious pro with the ball-bags and stuff or a random person who's there just because "dude wouldn't it be funny if we went bowling?"

Damn, I know just four of them
(Newton's 2nd law, linear velocity, work and angular displacement)
Gotta catch up!

Get them interested in science while they're young. ^ ^

Ah, Hasbro should have a Bill Nye pony.

Wow, someone took the time to identify all those formulas? Amazing! Looks legit!

Engineering major. I felt it was my duty. ^ ^
Thanks!

..... And yet again somehow a show about ponies proves me wrong when I went "I don't need this math! When would I ever use it?"
((Seriously though I struggled with math but this is math magic.

I knew they looked fairly relevant but it's been a long time since I took a physics course. Well done!

Holy carp. So all the equations were relevant. Been a while since I could solve any of them though.

Lebowski Pony You don't need all that math man.
Yeah just toss the ball of life and ride the pins of destiny.

Totally.
I really need to watch that movie. This is the second time it's been referenced in the show.

I took physics. I really tried hard in it too, but I still got a C. Now I despise math. It's too bad; I thought physics was so interesting. So it was a total letdown that I so routinely failed at it.

That sucks. The conceptual side is still fun to think about, even if the mathematical side doesn't float your boat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Truth. I still wish I wasn't so bad with the math.

The curve that you say is more of a drawing than a graph - whelp, as a bowler I can tell you that it's showing the idealized curve, which gives the ideal contact angle for when the ball hits the pins to cause the most consistent reaction for knocking them all down. I forget the exact angle of attack (bowling's been around a long while and people have been obsessing about it since nearly the beginning), but that diagram for a curve looks almost exactly like similar diagrams I've seen in books on bowling technique.
There's a surprising amount of math in those kinds of books - ideal angles, speeds, rotations, and how you walk and swing your arm and let go of the ball affects all those things.

Oh, I believe it. Go deep enough into any sport and you'll find plenty of physics involved. That "graph" was actually what is called a motion diagram. It's still perfectly legitimate physics, but having an X and Y axis didn't quite fit in.

Hehe, pretty easy physics if you ask me! I was taught that when i was 15 years old (idk what kind of grade, because Greece's educational system is different)

I love this. Investing the time and effort to use actual equations and not just some random stuff is a nice shout out to Bronies.

It takes dedication to make jokes like these accurate!

I only took Physics Honors, but I can say a lot of those equations look fairly correct. Nice touch with the Y-axis equaling zero.
