AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on proving the impossibility of an actor jumping high enough to dunk a basketball after throwing the ball against a backboard. Participants suggest using physics formulas related to energy, power, and work, as well as Newton's 3rd Law, to demonstrate the unrealistic nature of the jump. Calculating the energy required to reach the necessary height and comparing it to the maximum jump height of a human are key approaches mentioned. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise calculations to support the argument against the scene's plausibility. Overall, the thread seeks a clear mathematical framework to debunk the movie's portrayal of physics.

At 1:19 in that video, the actor throws the ball agaisnt the backboard. As the ball bounces backwards, the actor "flies up" from the free throw line and dunks the ball.

I know this is impossible, but I need the formulas that would prove this to be impossible.

I'm utterly lost and can't figure out what ones to use to show that dunking the ball at the actors weight and height is impossible. (Power, work, Newton's 3rd Law etc)

Any guidance would help extremely.

um calulate the engery needed to jump that high then find out the highest a human can possibliy jump?
 
Would you go about calculating energy using the formulas for power and work?
 
um u could do that or reg kinetic
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
