Christian Bobrowski, Extension 6, Questions

Question 1:

How does winning this game require you to apply Newton's 1st and 2nd laws?

Answer:

In the game vector racing, winning this game applies yopu to apply both of Newton's laws. The first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon another force, and same goes for if it is at rest. In this game, you have to pinpoint exactly where you want the car to go, just like an endpoint. The car will remain in motion until it reaches that final endpoint in which you set. Newton's second law states that when certain forces are unbalanced, objects will tend to accelerate. In the game, once you have clicked enter and chosen where you want the car to end up, you are unable to stop in the middle and change locations. It will constantly take the car to the spot you intended it to, until it reaches that end point. This is how the game vector racer requires the users to apply both Newton's first and second laws.

Question 2:

How do these principles apply to your own driving - especially in the winter?

Answer:

These principles also apply to my own driving in certain ways especially during the winter. This is because for instance if it is very icy and the roads are slippery, the car tends to not neccessarily stop at the given time. It makes it much much challenging for the car to come to a stop because it is a sliding road which is not the easiest to maneuver through. Not only that, but it is also harder to navigate the car through the snow, making it somewhat difficult depending where you are driving to accelerate as quickly as you normally would. This is why both of these principles can also apply to my own driving, espeically when it is the winter season.

Rizwan and Joel's Projectile Motion Photo



            This photo illustrates projectile motion because it captures the main idea of hang time and the concept of projectiles. It shows a clear tear of water falling in an up and down like most motion. This shows the constant motion of the object. It does not just go up and come straight back down but it’s inhibits the same force pulled and backward as well. It is important because it combines different layers of importance to the same idea. Motion in the 2-D. As the water goes up it also comes down. Now this is common sense, but more importantly it reflects the thought that there is a up and down velocity. This is a picture seen a lot but it shows a bigger picture. Something as simple as water shows us so much.

faulty Physics in film


       This cartoon in mostly all of the scenes defies thew laws of physics.  There repeated scenes where Yosemite Sam runs off the diving board and is just suspended in mid air for a good 30 seconds or so before falling into the water below. The reason why this cant be possible is because when an object falls off the edge and free falls down, it instantly starts to fall downward at 10 m/s. To find the real time that Sam actually would have fallen from the top of the diving to the water tub below you take the square root of the distance which in this video is 500 feet, multiply it by two, multiply that by two, then divide that by 10 and you get your answer.

In conclusion, while cartoons are hilarious, they also more than often defy the laws of physics.
