So I have a test on Circular Motion in physics coming up on Monday, and I thought "What better way to study then apply what I learned to MLP:FIM?"

Well, many of you may remember this scene from "wonderbolts academy"

Well through some observations I calculated various values relating to the circular motion of the pony (Wildflower according to the internet).

Here is my work on paper

So without further ado here is my explanation:

Based on observation and a educated guess that the length of an outstreched pony is about 4ft I found the distance from the dizzitron to Wildflowers COM to be about 1.5 pony lengths or about 1.83m.

Another educated guess, I assumed the average adult pegasi probalby weight about 60lb or 27.22 Kg.

At maximum angular velocity Wildflower makes 1 rotation about every 1 seccond about the dizzitron making her final angular velocity to be about 6.28 rad/s.

The time required for the dizzitron to reach maximum angular velocity came out to be about 6 secconds.

Finally, Wildflowers moment of inertia, without counting the dizzitron itself plugged into the formula I=mr^2 came out be about 91.16 Kg * m^2

Based on this I was able to find angular acceleration, Tangential Velocity, Radial Acceleration, Centripetal Force, Torque, Angular Momentum, and finally Rotational Kinetic Energy.

Now, the calculations.

Studying with ponies is the only way to study.
