There is a man attached to a relatively long string with a steel ball
on the other end. This man we will call "Popeye", is strong enough to
lift the ball and throw it up:
1. What's the relation between forces, speed, mass, to make the ball
drag Popeye up thru the air? There are only basic arguments in this
equation, no ellastic string, Popeye's body is not broken, etc...
maybe there is some air drag, if useful.
2. How could Popeye solve how much force he needs to throw his system X meters up?
Now that Popeye is flying, he climbs the string and takes the steel ball:
3. Did Popeye modify the speed of the ball by climbing the string? I
think climbing slower or faster would make different results, but not
sure.
4. Is there a way Popeye can control the direction of his flying
system? How could he do that?
5. Is it possible for Popeye to accelerate his system? How? Would it
help cutting the string?
I was thinking, what happens if Popeye changes the steel ball for a
Gyroscope? Would that help in any way to maneuver?
