Description

READ THE ATTACHED FILE FIRST

In the first part of the assignment, your job will be to explain how you will calculate it and to what you will compare your resulting number in order to figure out whether it could really happen. Remember, your conclusion must be based on your math ( You will likely have to estimate things, such as distances and speeds. )

i will also attach a rubric that will show you the requirements in the assignment

( https://www.boredpanda.com/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-skyscraper-jump-funny-reactions/ ) this is an example of a scene review, I want my review to be the same method in this article + check for plagiarism

below attached is the rubric and guides (focus in the draft's rubric)

here is the movie scene ( 1-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3J9yYnKLA0) you can measure if the car would be able to jump from building to another based on physics laws

Physics 101: Description of Movie Assignment Hollywood is notorious for “stretching” the laws of physics for the sake of a good drama. While not all movies do this, an alarmingly large number do! For this assignment, you will be selecting a scene in your favorite (fictional) movie, commercial, or cartoon, and applying principles learned in class (including estimation, problem solving, and specific physics principles) to understand whether the scene in the movie could feasibly happen in real life. You will write an essay of 2-2.5 pages single spaced, 12pt font with approximately 1 inch margins. Part 1 of this assignment is a proposal/draft for your essay. The grading rubric for the draft is given below, followed by the rubric for the final assignment. The assignment will include components of: • Writing – your final product will be an essay with calculations. • Identifying the physical principle that the scene demonstrates, and understanding the relevant equations you could use to analyze the scene’s feasibility. • Estimation – you will have to estimate parameters like mass, distance, velocity, as relevant to assess the scene’s feasibility. • Setting up the “word problem” – it may help your thinking about the situation to phrase the scene as a word problem. • Solving the problem – your conclusion should include an assessment, based on calculations, of whether the scene is feasible or not based on your analysis. Generally, you will be doing some calculation(s) related to what we have learned in class to determine if your scene could actually happen. Non-fiction is preferred. For example, October Sky is not fictional; it's based on a true story about rockets. Likewise, many realistic sports movies wouldn’t work well, but the extreme golf in Happy Gilmore would be fine. Your conclusion should NOT say something similar to “well clearly this can happen because it does happen in real life.” The point of this assignment is to get you to calculate if a scene could happen, use calculations and your critical thinking skills. It is your job to pick a scene that has something to do with what we have learned in class (examples: collision physics including conservation of momentum, objects hanging from strings, projectiles – people jumping or something being thrown/bouncing/shot, things sliding across a surface or down inclines, anything with pulleys, falling and conservation of energy, rotational energy and angular momentum, stability and center of mass). After you propose your method in the draft assignment, it is my job to point out any flaws that I notice in your logic. I can't read your mind, so I can only do my job well if you give me details of the scene and on how you will go about this calculation. Tell me what variable(s) you will calculate to determine if this scene could happen in real-life and how you will know if the number you get for that variable(s) is(are) reasonable. Outlawed: • Any examples used in class; • The bus/bridge scene in the movie Speed; • The circular bullet scenes in Wanted. • Skyscraper movie poster • October Sky An important note on plagiarism: Strict rules for plagiarism assessment will apply to this assignment. Please use your own initiative and creativity to decide a movie scene to analyze, rather than searching online for scenes which have been analyzed by others. If we find that you have copied (in part or in full) something from an obvious pre-published source you will be heavily penalized and may receive a zero for the assignment. We have highly effective automatic software that assesses plagiarism for this type of assignment, so such a thing will be difficult to get through without myself and the TAs noticing. Rubric for Draft Movie Assignment (DUE DATE 9 MARCH) (30 points) Competent (70%) Proficient (100%) Grammar and Typos (2 points) Some grammatical errors or typos, but they did not significantly adversely affect the readability. Few if any grammatical errors and/or typos. In the real world, everything you turn in should look professional. Practice now. Description of the Scene (5 points) Most of the scene is clearly explained, but there are some details skipped that could affect how the calculations should be approached. Based upon your description, it is very clear what is going on in the scene (a video link is also helpful but not required). Appropriateness N/A (3 points) Formulas Provided (5 points) You followed the directions above about picking a scene related to class material and not obviously possible or impossible. Most of the needed formulas have been All of the formulas and only the provided, but some are missed and/or appropriate formulas needed to calculate unnecessary. the scene have been provided. Identify variable(s) to solve for (5 points) N/A At least one variable is identified as what you will solve for to determine if the scene can occur in real life. (Generally that variable is not time, though you may need to solve for it to get something else.) How you will find out if variable(s) reasonable (5 points) While you mention the comparison of your result to something you’ll find online or in literature, no plan for searching for this information or range of possible results is given. You discuss how you will determine if your selected variable(s) are actually achievable. This determination is either based on things that can be found in papers, or based on more calculations. Estimations (5 points) Variables in need of estimation are Any variables that need to be estimated mentioned. Some minor variables might are mentioned as well as how be left out. estimations will be made. Rubric for Final Movie Assignment (DUE DATE 16 APRIL) (60 points) Competent (70%) Proficient (100%) Grammar and Typos (3 points) Some grammatical errors or typos, but they did Few if any grammatical errors and/or typos. not significantly adversely affect the readability. Paper Length (4 points) The paper is slightly shorter than 2 pages single-spaced, 12pt font. Because of this, the paper is not as thorough in discussion as desired. Most of the scene is clearly explained, but Description of the there are some details skipped that could Scene affect how the calculations should be (5 points) approached. The paper is 2 - 2.5 pages single spaced, 12pt font with approximately 1 inch margins. Based upon your description, it is very clear what is going on in the scene (however, a link is also helpful). Some MINOR physics misconceptions may be discussed or the physics may be lightly discussed at all. The general physics principles are correctly discussed with relation to specific parts of the scene. For example, identify the area(s) of physics (projectile motion, conservation of momentum, etc.). Then, you should relate the specific parts of the scene to these topics. Calculations/ Strategy (15 points) There are minor errors in the calculations, approach and/or formulas AND/OR they are sloppy and challenging to distinguish. You have also made an appropriate calculation to determine if your scene could occur in real life. (For impact problems, you'll generally want to solve for stress = force / contact area.) Showing Your Work (10 points) The math work is hard to understand and/or has minor errors. The formulas and your work are included, correct and easy to follow. How you made your estimations was discussed, but a little unclear AND/OR somewhat unreasonable. The estimations that were made, and how they were made, are discussed AND are reasonable. Discussion of the Scene Physics (10 points) Estimation Discussion (5 points) References for estimated values (e.g. coefficient of friction for some material, force/tension that some surface/cable can handle, typical mass of some relevant object) (3 points) Having a Logical Conclusion (5 points) Only one reference is given AND/OR the references do not seem reliable (reddit, for instance, is not reliable whereas Wikipedia and specialist websites likely are) AND/OR no range of results are given. If you see a citation in Wikipedia, follow it and verify! I am flexible on reference format as long as references are given and could be found based on provided information. A conclusion is given, however, it seems unclear or is not logical based upon the calculations. At least two reliable references are provided. The citations for the references should be given, but the format for the citations is not critical. I should just be able to find it if I desire. The conclusion is logical based upon the calculated numbers and the reference(s) provided. You might even discuss how your result might change if you adjusted your estimates.

Happy Gilmore
Happy Gilmore has a unique way of swinging a golf club, having the least said. Many
people know about that kind of swing, and it has even been compared with Charles Barkley's.
However, the question in many peoples' minds is how Happy manages to make such a perfect
swing and he ultimately will make the ball move further than any other player. The point is there
is nothing complicated regarding the same but just the way Happy approaches the ball.
When playing golf, one tends to stand with their feet facing the point they opt to hit the
ball from. The ball stands at the stance of the player and on a tee that is a bit far in position
middle of player's club face. However, Happy Gilmore is a golfer with a difference. He makes a
peculiar approach, having the run-up, which ultimately gives him greater force than the normal
estimated force that any other player puts into the ball. Newton's Second Law of motion F=ma
(Force=mass x acceleration) best explains Happy's approach. Most golfers depend on
acceleration they acquire while standing, but Happy has added acceleration from the running.
Added acceleration hence produces more energy that is applied to the ball and finally making
longer drives. Another import...
