CM's New Sig: a problem in physics.

Post by Time Traveller »

let us examine the art in CM's new sig.
Image

1 represents the force of recoil of his cannon.
2 represents the force of his leg pushing him up as he strides forward.
3 represents the force of gravity pulling him toward the ground.
4 is his center of mass.

What happens?

*note: vectors have been exaggerated for conceptual clarity.

A Katherine wheel you mean. That sig was very kindly done for me by GITM. Who also fixed my avatar.

TT, only you would have seen all that!! :lol:

Just to play killjoy devil's advocate (and to save GITM from redrawing CM's sig ;) ), couldn't he feasibly be in the process of taking a step backward as a result of the recoil from the shot that has just been fired? (i.e. IF he were to fire again at this instant, he'd Katherine Wheel, but IF he's already fired, he could feasibly be shifting to adjust to the recoil?)

I don't recoil after firing a blast from the fusion cannon. It is just smoke coming out of the end of the barrel and I am striding forwards, not recoiling. :lol: I think we read to much into that!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wait a second, how do we not know our Mighty Leader is not flying? Or preparing to fly away just after shooting? Also, I think his left leg is coming down to brace him from falling, assuming he's on the ground. Never mind these Auto-butts, Commander. They are just jealous of your ability of flight. Just say the word, and I will raze them all!!!!!

Perhaps he is running backwards to catch something? He is going so fast that his fusion cannon is creating a slip stream.... I still think cartwheeling is funny tho. :lol:
