Outline of the Second Term Paper



INTRO: Conservation of Momentum is often violated in films.


Ice Age 

Impossible Soap Bubble: Scrat tries to catch up to Scratte by jumping inside his soap bubble and hitting the top with his head from the inside to translate it vertically. This would not be possible due to conservation of momentum.


Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 

Impossible Shotgun: Hatchet Harry shoots Dog with a shotgun, causing him to fly back and out the door. The momentum of the firearm projectiles is greatly over exaggerated.


Gravity

Imposible JetPack:  George Clooney uses his air powered jet pack to match orbital velocities with the shuttle. Later Sandra Bullock uses a fire extinguisher to match orbital velocities with the Chinese Space Station. The momentum of propellant is not enough to bring the characters to sufficient velocities.


CONCLUSION: necessity, comedy, action.
