Yeah, for most parents, measuring age in months ends right around the one year mark. For obvious reasons.
That and there’s no way the kid in this cartoon is 32 months. That’s 2 years, 8 months. Walking and talking and likely ~15kg. While not impossible, that would be pretty hard to yeet up to 16.4 mph.
Oh, you like math?
I do! I had figured out the amount of force required to throw a 15kg child over a 0.5s throw up to 7.33 m/s (16.4 mph) at ~220 Newtons, but then I figured that information wasn’t particularly useful to anyone really, so I just left it out.

I know plenty of parents who refer to their kid in months through year two, as you’re hitting milestones every month or two (vaccines, physical/psychological development, age limit for certain pharmaceuticals, etc) and “2 years” is such a big milestone for them all.
Also, kids who are premature make things extra complicated. I still refer to my son as “13-months adjusted” because if I said “16-months” people would wonder why he was so small.
While I agree with you, I also have to say that a significant percentage of people have no idea of the size difference between 13 and 16 months, and that saying 13 months adjusted is a little silly, but fun! So you do you.
people have no idea of the size difference between 13 and 16 months
People with their own children notice the difference more readily
People with kids at those ages definitely. Anecdotally, mine’s more grown up now, and I don’t remember how big she was at those ages.
I do remember searching a whole lot of XX-month-milestone on the Internet when she was small.
Is that with or without friction?
Velocity is speed in a given direction. She only calculated speed.
km/h lady, km/h. Or m/s at least.
Fun fact: if you take the displacement between your current position and the exact place where you were born, and divide it by your age, you can get your average velocity
Hum… At about 100m/year right now. I used to be faster than that.
holy shit looks like I’ve been velocitating at an average of 0,024 km/h due south-east. It’s pretty slow
Looks pretty young for a 32 m.o.
She couldn’t even get the plural of “month” correct, you want her to know the difference between months and weeks?
Ts ts ts. Not metric enough.
The only useful miles is Miles O’brien.
Not useful, but kind of cool:
Miles Davis
As someone who loves jazz, that’s a bit more than just “kind of” cool. He’s a pillar in the genre.
