NOT LIKE THAT
Chris has not seen a 32 month old toddler in his life.
As a proud owner of a 23 month old toddler, I can confirm that even my specimen is larger than that, and I could not dream to achieve that kind of velocity.
Am I the only one who thought Kris was a lady uptil now? Maybe I was just projecting because I liked the cutesier style of these ones lol
Month’s what?
She said she likes math not grammar!
Months*
She had it coming. If you use months after 1 year, prepare to get slammed.
The normal age to stop using months is 2 years.
That’s because there’s a massive difference between a 12, 18, and 24 months old. It makes sense to have and use different references to separate them.
Those ages are a year, a year and a half, and two years.
It makes more sense when you’re comparing month to month development.
If you have a perfectly normal child then it doesn’t matter to measure anything and you can call it whatever.
However if you’re in a maternity group and all the other children started pointing at things at 13 months and yours doesn’t, then it might help to remember that yours was born prematurely and you can expect that behavior at 14 months.
Now, you can convert numbers as much as you please, but this doesn’t make sense as 1.08 and 1.16 years. You can say one year and one month and one year and two months, but it does makes sense for everyone in the conversation if you use the conventional method of communication which is 13 and 14 months. Don’t even get me started on Tiger leaps. Those come on schedule by the week.
It’s convention. If you go to a car mechanic to get new tires, you also don’t ask for “big wheels” if you want a 226/40R19.
Pff, doesn’t even use SI units.
A baby leaves Seattle going east at 18km/s another baby leaves New York going west at 34km/s, how long before each baby clears the heliopause. Please show your workings out.
I know for a fact this isn’t right but it’s probably close enough to work. About 30-32 years for infant 1, and infant 2 doesn’t work with this approximation at all, but I’m so long out of physics classes that I don’t know how to calculate it properly. But it was fun to try!
My work:
The voyager crafts launched in 1977 and cleared the heliopause in 2012 and 2018. Your proposed infant 1 is going 1km/s faster than voyager 1 (17km/s) which cleared in 2012, and 3km/s faster than 2 (15km/s) which cleared in 2018.
Voyager 1 took 35 years, voyager 2 took 41 years, meaning that 2km/s different amounts to ~6 years, or 3 years per 1km/s
Subtract that 3 years from the time it took for voyager 1 because your infant is moving 1km/s faster, and you get about 32 yrs. Add in some wiggle room because it’s not exactly linear, and 30-32yrs.
This approximation totally broke down with infant 2 due to the scale of difference in speed, and had it getting there before it launched. If you take the same 3 yrs/1km/s, and multiply it by 16, which is the difference between the infants’ speeds, you get 48 years, which would put it there before it launched based on voyager 1 taking 35 yrs. 🤷🏻

There’s a Ryan Gosling gif for everything lmao
I surely prefer him than DiCaprio
That is speed
How would you frame a sentence here for velocity then?
Velocity is speed and direction. So “16.4 mph north” is sufficient.
It is not. It’s not in metric.
16.4 MPH in that direction?
I find the absurdity of the joke would be better if the mother asked, “In which direction?”
To explain this joke: velocity is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction, which mom failed to indicate, shame on her.
Oh man, that caught me so offguard it made me do one of those sudden “neighbor jumpscare” type cackling laughs I’m sure was heard next door lol
Mph: the child crashes on Mars
