P2_6 Surfin' Fury

In a short film called Kung Fury, the main hero uses a person as a surfing board. We investigated the force he would need to push himself forward based on the kinetic friction and drag force. The force ranges between -335.24 ± 6.87 N and -980.74 ± 6.87 N

P2_4 Not So Spontaneous Combustion

In the X-Files TV series, a man is injected with a chemical that freezes him. When defrosting, his bodystarts producing exothermic reaction that sets him on re. At normal metabolic rate, this reaction wouldtake at least 4 days 15 hours and 24 minutes. In the time scale of the show the energy required to heatthe body would be 9.9 x 105 W

P2_1 In a Blink of an Eye

The game World of Warcraft allows a mage to teleport a short distance in almost an instant. Based on the description of the spell, we calculated the acceleration of the mage as 82.86 ± 13.96g. We then compared the acceleration of the mage to those that people are able to survive in real life

P2_2 Understanding Goku's Spirit Bomb

 Goku's iconic "Spirit Bomb" has aided the hero in difficult situations in the world of Dragon Ball. With the aid of a photon sphere model, we obtain a glimpse into the necessary requisites. By creating a hypothetical sun-sized SB, we find that a photon sphere would require 5x1042 humans and would span 1x108 episodes.

P2_5 Jovian Gravitational Perturbations on Earth's Orbit

In a hypothetical situations in which the solar system contains varied masses of Jupiter, the orbit of the Earth may fall subject to considerable gravitational perturbations. With the aid of the Newtonian gravity simulator, Universe SandboxTM, the effects of these perturbations can be observed .The orbit is found alter by an approximate 30x106 km before being ejected from the solar system, at Jovian mass of 0.7 Mʘ
