AS A PHYSICS MAJOR, I CAN HYPOTHESIZE THAT THE FORMULA FOR THE AVERAGE VELOCITY OF A BOOB JIGGLE WOULD BE
NOW, THAT BASICALLY MEANS WE NEED TO FIND X, THE INITIAL AND FURTHEST DISTANCE THE BOOB TRAVELS, AND T, THE DISTANCE IT TOOK FOR THE BOOB TO TRAVEL THIS INITIAL DISTANCE. SINCE MY BOOBS ARE NOT AS MAGNIFICENT AS KORRAS, I WILL USE HER BUST FOR REFERENCE INSTEAD.
DUE TO THE TIME BEING SLOWED DOWN, WE WILL UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO MAKE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE TIME PASSING WITH COMPARISONS TO PREVIOUS FOOTAGE. HOWEVER, THE REDUCED SPEED LETS US OBSERVE THE DISTANCE OF KORRA’S INITIAL BOOB JIGGLE.
NOW, LET’S ESTIMATE THAT KORRA’S CHEST IS 13 IN. ACROSS AND HER BOOBS ARE 4.5 IN. ACROSS. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GIF, THE EDGE KORRA’S LEFT BOOB* IS AT THE EDGE OF HER CHEST, AND AT THE EDGE HER BOOB APPEARS TO HAVE MOVED UP AND TO THE RIGHT APPROXIMATELY 2.75 IN. FROM HERE, WE CAN DERIVE THAT THE AVERAGE DISTANCE HER BOOB TRAVELS IN A SINGLE, PUNCH PROPELLED JIGGLE IS 2.75 IN.
NEXT WE FIND THE TIME. IT’S EASY TO CLOCK KORRA’S BOOB JIGGLE HERE AT .96 SECONDS, BUT SINCE SLOW MOTION WAS USED, WE NEED TO EXTRAPOLATE THIS A BIT MORE. TO MAKE THINGS EASIER, LET’S ASSUME THAT THEY USED THE SAME RATE OF SLOW MOTION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SCENE.
ESTIMATING THAT IT TAKES KORRA .75 SECONDS TO PERFORM THE FLIP SHE DID PRIOR TO THIS BOOB JIGGLE, AND IT TOOK 4 SECONDS FOR HER TO COMPLETE HALF OF THAT FLIP, THE SLOW MOTION WE ARE OBSERVING HAS TAKEN A .375 SECOND CLIP INTO 4 SECONDS. WE CAN ROUND THIS TO BEING SLOWN DOWN 100%, OR BY A FACTOR OF TEN. THIS MEANS WE DIVIDE THE TIME OF HER SLO-MO BOOB JIGGLE BY TEN: .96/10 = .096 SECONDS = T
NOW THAT WE HAVE X AND T, WE RETURN TO OUR ORIGINAL EQUATION OF V = X/T.
2.75IN/.096SEC = 28.64 IN/SEC
IN OTHER WORDS, KORRA’S BOOB JIGGLE HAS BEEN CLOCKED AT 1.62MPH
I AM NOT A BOOB SCIENTIST, BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A PLAUSIBLE SPEED FOR A BOOB JIGGLE. I WELCOME ALL OTHER TUMBLR SCIENTISTS IN THE KORRA FANDOM TO TEST MY FINDINGS AND WEIGH IN WITH THEIR OWN EVIDENCE.
*IT CAN BE NOTED THAT THIS MAY IN FACT NOT BE THE EDGE OF HER BOOB, BUT THE ANIMATORS WAY OF DEFINING THE EDGE OF KORRA’S NICELY TONED PECS. IT HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED IF KORRA’S BOOBS ARE IN FACT BOOBS AND NOT 90% MUSCLE.
