second term paper outline: action/reaction

• Introduction
• Law: Action/Reaction
• Newton’s Third Law of Motion says that for every action force, there is an equal reaction force in the opposite direction
• With the latest technology and rendering software, anything can be believable, especially special effects which give its aid to represent things that defy the laws of physics.
• Films used: Space Jam, Wreck It Ralph, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
• Paragraph 1: Physics of Space Jam
• Action: A very abnormally large and muscular basketball player on the Monstar team performs a dunk and the basketball net remains intact.
• Reaction: The force of that impact should have shattered and broken the basketball net.
• Paragraph 2: Physics of Wreck It Ralph
• Action: Fix It Felix Jr.can jump much higher than others and much faster as well, being able to control how long he is in the air and the speed in which he can jump up and land back down.
• Reaction: In reality, to be able to jump that high and at such speed would leave a remarkable indent in the ground from that much force.
• Paragraph 3: Scott Pilgrim vs The World
• Action: Todd Ingram punches the highlights out of Knives Chau's hair
• Reaction: The punch is not physically possible of doing that. And if the punch really was that strong that it could physically knock the color out of hair, it would do much more damage to her face than just knocking the color out of her hair.
• Conclusion
• All these things are incorrect in terms of Newton's Third Law of Motion
• However, without these outrageous actions, it wouldn't make movies fun and challenge our perception of creativity.
