I. Introduction
A. Introduce common physics errors in G.I. Joe movie- Newton’s 3 laws of forces
B. Action/Reaction principle violated
C. Acceleration in direction of force
D. Principle of Inertia
E. Set up scene in G.I. Joe-Rise of Cobra
II. Action Reaction
A. For every action force there is an equal reaction force in the opposite direction.
1. How high you jump depends on the force and on the distance over which you apply that force
a. Ex. When the Joe’s jump when they are in their suits. The distance the jump is not congruent with the amount of force exerted on the ground.
2. Ex. When the bad guys shoot the ray/force gun the kick back does not match the force that exerted on the target (glass, concrete, Joe’s).
3. Ex. Hummer maintains a constant speed, despite colliding with vehicles.
III. Acceleration and direction of force.
A. When a force is perpendicular to the path of action then it deflects the motion into an arc.
1. Ex. Hummer traveling along, gets hit with train that is perpendicular, the hummer is deflected into an arc forward, not to the side as it should have been.
IV. Principle of Inertia
A. An object moves with constant, uniform motion until acted on by an unbalanced force.
1. Ex. When one of the Joe’s jumped through a moving train, he should not have hit the train directly across (180˚) from the spot he entered the train.
V. Conclusion
A. Summarize main points
B. Restate thesis statement

The outline looks good. Whenever possible, try to make some quantitative estimates to go along with your description. For example, in one of the early lectures I gave you a table of the distance things move at various speeds. For a train moving at 30 miles per hour that turns out to be 22 inches per frame. So if the Joe going through the train window takes a quarter second to pass through the cabin, that's 6 frames so the train will have moved a distance of 6x22 = 132 inches, which is 13 feet. This means that the Joe would come no where near the opposite window for that aisle.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your paper. Score: 5 of 10 points (due to being late).
