• ITT: We Figure Out How GI Joe Relates to Physics
    32 replies, posted
Today, I was assigned a project in which I have to tell how a GI Joe doll relates to the basic elements of physics. (Speed, Velocity, Impulse, etc.) I'm asking for help because I really don't know how to go about this. I have to present my explanations next Wednesday. I'm asking you, Facepunch: [B]How does a GI Joe figure relate to physics?[/B] [IMG]http://www.greedygunrunners.com/files/ggr/news/multicam-multiken.jpg[/IMG]
Each team member has a specific skill. It was also discovered entirely by men
i don't understand the very nature of the question
His face is aerodynamic?
A GI Joe can move, but it's parts only stay together because of molding and friction. Go nuts.
If you drop both GI Joes at the same time, they both hit the ground at the same time. If one Joe opens his parachute, the air resistance will slow him down causing him to hit the floor last. :science: If dropped at the same time of course.

[QUOTE=Zackin5;22009329]But what if you drop one Joe from higher up then the other? will they still hit at the same time?[/QUOTE] Yes if you do it from the correct hight.
[QUOTE=Zackin5;22009329]But what if you drop one Joe from higher up then the other? will they still hit at the same time?[/QUOTE] Yes. If you give the lower one a parachute and station the higher one high enough to take the same time, it'll work.
I specifically told you not to use the Internet for your science projects, I will be failing you and calling your parents to talk about this. i hope you haven't done this with your previous assignments.
Explain bullet physics when a bullet makes contact with flesh

How long does it take for him to hit your wall if you throw him from 10 feet away? What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen G.I.Joe?
I thought this thread would be about ice sinking in water. Since that's how the G. I. Joe movie ended

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;22009390]Please tell me that's supposed to be a question the OP can use and not you being an idiot.[/QUOTE] I was just trying to point out a flaw in his suggestion. But know that I think about it teachers don't really worry about stuff like that.
He has a gun.

We won't do your homework :colbert:

a bullet can cave a skull in i know this because i am g.i. old damn whippersnappers with the new fangled xbawks and pstriple
I wish they still made GI Joe's with actual weapons, not that Joe v. Cobra bullshit that I see everywhere. Also, when a boy sees an action figure with a gun it creates the impulse to buy it.
[QUOTE=Tippmann357;22009498]Explain bullet physics when a bullet makes contact with flesh[/QUOTE] It goes "splsh"
[QUOTE=Tippmann357;22009498]Explain bullet physics when a bullet makes contact with flesh[/QUOTE] The bullet, as far as I know, is travelling at such a speed, it will vibrate the skin so much on contact, it rips it apart, layer for layer. Was I correct? :D
never saw gi joe.
i shot a guy once
[QUOTE=markfu;22011945]I wish they still made GI Joe's with actual weapons, not that Joe v. Cobra bullshit that I see everywhere. Also, when a boy sees an action figure with a gun it creates the impulse to buy it.[/QUOTE] Actually no, I never liked GI Joe's.
[QUOTE=Zerohope;22016200]The bullet, as far as I know, is travelling at such a speed, it will vibrate the skin so much on contact, it rips it apart, layer for layer. Was I correct? :D[/QUOTE] No, not even close. The bullet is hitting the skin with such force that it stretches it, and then violently crushes and tears through it once it's tensile strength is surpassed. It then proceeds to deform as it is traveling through the tissue which can easily result in mushrooming or fragmententing into pieces; adding to the injury and making removal much more difficult. The kinetic energy moving the projectile gets exerted into the surrounding tissues, causing a strong surge of hydrostatic pressure which can crunching and tearing of body systems. In rifle cartridges which are generally more powerful than pistol cartridges, it can cause serious mutilation and result in a wound size multiple times larger than the projectile itself.
GI Joes and physics.. Hmm.. How can they carry RPG/LMG/Supplies/SMG/Grenades/Pistols at once?
