ZDLSo this is math, is it?
tateIt should be distanceraptor / time
Otherwise the raptors cancel.
dohpaz42Otherwise the raptors cancel and you just get velocity.
I mean, yes? Weren’t they super fast?
RhaedasThey seemed fast, but it's just because they worked in packs, so the one that got you was there the whole time.
Clever girl.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrotNothing personnel, kid.
Good catch, but following that it should actually be displacementraptor / time. Speed is based on distance traveled, velocity is where you started vs where you ended up. If you run complete laps around a track your velocity will be 0 when you’re done because your displacement is 0 (start and end points are the same)
Also a good catch.
Speediraptor just sounds silly. Not nearly as scary as velociraptor.
jbrainsAnd it should be displaceraptor, dropping the last syllable, otherwise the quotient would be velocityraptor.
I was gonna share this meme, but now it just seems silly with all of these factual errors.
The cumulative pedantry is almost all the fun.
Distanceraptor over time equals velociraptor? Sounds like evolution to me.
It tripped, so it became a revolution instead
No, you would get veloci.
Only if you treat it as (distance)(raptor) / (time)(raptor)
Once you come to terms with it in time you will see this meme is just a derivative of the PositionRaptor meme.
What in the Philoso-raptor is going on in these comments?
retrolaseredVelocirapture
speedraptor = distanceraptor/time
velociraptor = distanceraptor/time/time
That’s an acceleraptor. Velociraptor = displacemeraptor/time as mentioned above.
aaaahhhhh, indeed. ty
Maths were a lot harder before Arabic numbers
… Really? Please explain.
cosmicrookieLind of how the USA sets tarrifs
Without a direction it is a scalar not a vector, so it is speedraptor.
Right. We need to replace distanceraptor with displacementraptor.
It’s velociraptor in 1D world!
I would 100% watch a b-movie named TimeRaptor. Can you just imagine the glory of a time traveling dinosaur?
Velociraptor = positionraptor/time. As written the raptor cancels and you get a scalar not a vector, simply speed.
The image looks like a Deinonychus to me
festntit has no feathers, it’s not a deinonychus, a velociraptor, or anything closely related to them
it’s actually just the sillouette of a random movie monster
True true
Yeah. Velociraptor is much smaller and more bird-like.
I think you mean:
velociraptor = dpositionraptor/dtimeraptor
HupfWhat would be the relevant xkcd here? xkcd.com/135/ is the closest I can come up with.
SpaceCowboyWouldn’t the raptor being on both the top and bottom of the division factor out?
It’s not “Distance Raptor” or “Time Raptor” or even “Veloci Raptor”. It’s Distanceraptor. All one word. Or Timeraptor or Velociraptor.
I mean otherwise it would be:
Distanceraptor
Timeraptor
And that leaves us with:
Dstanc
Tm
Actually it would be more along the lines of classical physics.
Timeraptors sound terrifying
