AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of flipping a car using the Crysis 2 suit, which can generate a force of 450 Newtons. Participants note that this force is insufficient, estimating it would only move a car about one foot per second. Additionally, they point out that any force strong enough to flip a car would likely cause significant damage to it first. The conversation also shifts to calculating the force needed to break objects like a door. Overall, the consensus is that the game's physics do not translate to real-world capabilities.

Hello I'm new here and i really want to know the anwser to this question.
In the game Crysis 2 the wearer of the suit has the capability to produce a striking force of up to 450N and i was wondering if this were possible could you be able to kick a car and turn it upside down like in the game. I know it's just a game but i was just wondering.

1] 450 Newtons is not a lot. I think that would impart a movement of about 1 foot per second2 to something the size of a car.2] Any force great enough to flip a car, applied by something as small as a foot would certainly punch through the car before flipping it, unless you ensured you hit the superstructure.
 
thanks for the reply i have another question as well , how would calculate the force required to break something such as a door.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
