Let's Assume........

From ps2muse on photobucket.com

Everything.

When it comes to Wile E. Coyote you just have to assume a lot of things.  For example, in order to make sense of our video project, we have to assume the coyote can withstand around 14 g's.  Assuming he can get up to over a million miles an hour to walk on air.  Assuming he could actually run over water at 182 mph according to his weight which is the basis of that million mph.

Are you lost?

I should go back a bit.

After seeing the youtube video about My Little Pony physics my friends and I thought it would be amusing to do the same thing with Wile E. Coyote. It's harder than it looked.

Slowly but surely we've collected our examples and now I'm working on the math part of it.  Can I just say, I'm really not that good at math?  Sure, I get it and it's not that bad, and whatever.  But, it's kind of different when you have to make your own equations to compare a coyote to a basilisk and then remove the surface tension of water to figure out how fast he'd have to be to run on air...

Ugh. 

So, basically, this week has gone to cartoons.  We've cut and edited the coyote and now we're calculating the math and physics the cartoon uses.

I think I've just ruined my childhood.
