Disclaimers: I am a graphic designer working with science popularisers to make interesting posters/designs based on science. Apart from High School physics (which was more than 10 years ago) I do not have a physics background so part 2 and 3 (equations and attempt at a solution) might be blank. Please bear with me.
We are making a poster about the famous Pizza throw in Breaking Bad season 1.
Remembering what little I could about projectiles, this is the tentative design proposal I came up with.
But I thought it would be great if I could actually calculate the force required to throw a party pizza onto the roof and include that in the graphic somehow.
From what I can tell the pizza might be approx 3kg (it is huge)
Height at which pizza lands from the ground is approx 2.5 meters.
Horizontal distance between Walter and the Pizza landing spot is approx 3 meters
Maximum vertical height of pizza is say 3 meters.
Total time taken from launch to landing is say 1.5 seconds.
I am guessing these are all the relevant variables needed.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help. It would be much appreciated.
