[ATTACK ON TITAN MAKES NO SENSE!]

This one is going to be a bit of a rant because it seems like everyone I talk to is obsessed with this show. But I have proof that it is not as great as some may think. (mild spoilers for episode 1)

So in episode 1 a titan comes over the wall and begins to eat the protagonists' mother. As the monster bites down, the mother literally explodes with blood flying in every direction. I was recently told that the average human body has less than 2 gallons of blood in it. If you watch the video you will see that there is WELL over 3 gallons shown.

So not only does the volume of blood defy reality, but the force of which it explodes is like a Michael Bay movie. When someone gets cut severely, it may squirt but it will mostly just leak and get all over. Not in this show. The blood comes flying out at speeds nearing 70mph. So yeah, I don't see why this show is such a hit because it is so inaccurate!   

[Arrow TV Show (projectiles)]

In this week's episode of the hit show Arrow, Oliver and Roy have to disperse a crowd without being seen. They are positioned on a  vantage point about 10 meters away. They both shoot an arrow into thee crowd that contains a tear gas capsule. So in order for them to hit their target, they would need to know the velocity required to hit it and at what angle to lob it so to not skewer any innocents.  

[How Gwen Stacy Died (Physics Version)]

In the new Amazing Spiderman film they implemented an iconic plot point from the comics. (spoiler alert) Gwen Stacy dies. After I was emotionally drained from watching it I sat down and did the math of how it happened.

    Lets say that Goblin dropped her rom a height of 50 meters.

   She began falling from rest at an acceleration of 9.81m/s^2.

   She reached terminal velocity about half way down and had a final velocity of about 55m/s

So, when the web hit her she was traveling roughly 55m/s and the hard stop was too much fore her neck to bear and snapped it. That....is how she died.

 

  

[Physics of Captain America's Shield]

As seen in Captain America: The First Avenger, Cap's shield has some incredible properties. It's made out of a fictional metal known as vibranium which has the ability to repel all vibrations making it virtually indestructible. Newton's 3rd law applies to this because if a bullet were to be shot at it, the force it hits the shield with is equal to the amount of force the shield hits the bullet. Just in the opposite direction.

[Introduction Paragraph]

just you wait until Mr. Fullerton reads that you think he's "super rad." you'll never hear the end of it. 

[Ari's Intro]

That's about as good a reason as any to take this class. 

[Colby's Intro]

Hello, my name's Colby and I am the middle child with an older sister, Samantha, and a younger brother, Jordan. I am a huge nerd and enjoy anything sic fi, comics, or movie related. I also am a first degree black belt in Karate and have been taking it fir 8 years. Another large part of my life outside of school is my work in my youth group at Lakeshore Community Church. I spend almost all day there on the weekends and also went on a three week missions trip to Mozambique, Africa. So, that's me in a nutshell. Can't wait to learn physics! 

 

I am taking physics this year because I want to know how the world works an why a lot of things are the way they are. For example, i want to know how things really move through space. I also want to understand the correlation between matter and energy. that is why i signed up for physics(and because my counselor made me).
