Description
When Patches O'Houlihan shows up to train a raggedy group of gym rats, the first thing he does is tell them "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." Most people laugh at this line, but upon deeper reflection, it becomes obvious that Patches is, himself, a physics enthusiast, and is exactly right. Today we talk projectile motion and how our brains are able to rapidly process things flying through the air!Topics IncludeKenobi and Ian's woes watching Star WarsDr. Strange and Ian's woes seeing moviesDodgeball: A True Underdog StoryThere are no other quotes from DodgeballSports ball and projectile motionThe terminal velocity of a cowSubway Sandwich Airstrike:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0saOV9HJP_U?&ab_channel=WianScene from the film:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peUyLXrgYZ0&ab_channel=MovieclipsWork on cow terminal velocity:http://www.obsidianfields.com/lj/fallingcow.pdf
