Introduction
A.
Physics Concept: Conservation of Momentum
B.
Movies: The Matrix: Reloaded, How To Train Your
Dragon, Iron Man
Body
A.
The Matrix: Reloaded
a.
Neo moves at an incredibly velocity, fast enough
to blow cars out of the way, and then suddenly catches Trinity as she falls.
Since she’d have a massive change in direction, coupled with the large
acceleration, she would be essentially be liquefied.
b.
While this does break physics, Neo is basically
bending reality at this point, so he might be altering the laws of physics
B.
How to Train Your Dragon
a.
Towards the end of the film, Astrid falls from
her dragon and plummets towards the earth. Hiccup and Toothless then catch her
by her leg, which should provide enough to either tear her leg off break her
spine.
b.
Slightly later, Hiccup and Toothless fall an incredibly
long distance and have a heavy impact into the ground but only sustain minor
injuries, sans a leg that needs to be replaced
C.
Iron Man
a.
Literally every high speed impact he has between
his 3 titular roles and 2 Avengers movies should have either liquefied him,
broken all his bones or caused him severe physical handicapping.
Conclusion
A. If
momentum was conserved/properly applied to these films, they would not work, as
several of the main characters would be flesh colored puddles on the ground. The
rules of physics must be bent in films and animation in order to remain extraordinary
