The recital hall at my school is amazing because you can play a piece absolutely terribly, yet somehow by the time the sound reaches your studiomates, the hall has warped it into what you wanted and so you’re just standing there like oh God that was so terrible and they’re all like WOO SO GOOD

@shine-of-asgard replied to your photo post:

Had he hit the rotor, he'd have been thrown violently away or yanked around with enough force to break his neck, and lost that foot for sure. As for simply hitting the thing: by the action / reaction principle, if Falcons momentum here is minimally affected (and it is), the helicopter's momentum can only be affected similarly. And due to its weight, the speed/direction changes would be negligible. Hope the explanation made sense.

I more meant that he could have hit electronics that controlled the rotor, not the rotor itself. I should have been more clear.

If he’d hit close to the center of gravity, you’d be completely right. However, he hit the tail. When I said “moment,” I didn’t mean “momentum.” In physics, moment is the effect of a force that’s applied at a distance from the cg of the object. It’s often called torque, and is calculated as force x distance from the center of gravity. The bigger the distance, the bigger the effect. Think of a teeter-totter, or a lever. There’s a reason you jump/push on the end of it.

So. What I’m saying is that Falcon could have a) damaged the electronics that run the tail rotor, causing it to stop (plausible), and b) imparted enough of a moment to cause the helicopter to rotate. Not a lot, no. But stopping the tail rotor and causing the tail to skew at all (like your car suddenly fishtailing) is going to affect the flight of that helicopter. Not enough to drop it out of the sky, but certainly enough to cause some problems. The tail is kind of important.

I hope that explanation made sense.

Pic of the Day

    Normally the pic of the day is something that I shot but these are just too epic for words. I found this pic randomly online and have no clue who took it. It's some first generation remz with fiziks. I wish that remz would make their new skates looks like this. Just do this exact same thing and add a buckle.
