2. CUBE
CUBE is one of my
favorite movies that it
talks about :
“7 complete strangers
of widely varying
personality
characteristics are
involuntarily placed in
an endless kafkaesque
maze containing
deadly traps.”
3. CUBE and PHYSICS
CUBE talks something about the 4th
dimensions. It is interesting that for the
people who in the cube can not apply law of
physics to get rid of the cube.
I think from this movie I learned that the
universal has a lot mystery for us to explore in
the future. I spend several time to understand
how the CUBE work. I think if I have few
Mathematics and Physics knowledge, I may
not understand this movie.
4. EXPLAINATION OF CUBE
In Cube , a handful of people wake up in a cubical
structure of 26 by 26 by 26 cubical rooms, or 17,576 (a
cube of 26-cubed cubes), which are shifting around, plus
a "bridge" that moves through the maze.
It's not impossible to erect a building that measures 434
feet (@145 yards) in all three dimensions. Consider that a
football field is about 120 yards long and 53 yards wide.
The Cube would be only slightly larger than two football
fields placed side by side, not much bigger than a large
medical complex, shopping center, or airport terminal.
The entire Cube could fit comfortably inside NASA's
Vehicle Assembly Building, a structure built in the 1960s.
5. GRAVITY
Dr. Ryan Stone is a brilliant medical
engineer on her first shuttle
mission, with veteran astronaut
Matt Kowalsky. But on a seemingly
routine spacewalk, disaster strikes.
The shuttle is destroyed, leaving
Stone and Kowalsky completely
alone - tethered to nothing but each
other and spiraling out into the
blackness. The deafening silence
tells them they have lost any link to
Earth...and any chance for rescue.
As fear turns to panic, every gulp of
air eats away at what little oxygen is
left. But the only way home may be
to go further out into the terrifying
expanse of space.
6. GRAVITY and PHYSICS
is true that gravity decreases with distance, so it is possible to be far
away from a planet or star and feel less gravity. But that doesn't
account for the weightless feeling that astronauts experience in
space. The reason that astronauts feel weightless actually has to do
with their position compared to their spaceship. We feel weight on
Earth because gravity is pulling us down, while the floor or ground
stop us from falling. We are pressed against it. Any ship in orbit
around the Earth is falling slowly to Earth. Since the ship and the
astronauts are falling at the same speed, the astronauts don't press
against anything, so they feel weightless.
7. GRAVITY and PHYSICS
Gravity is a force pulling together all matter (which is anything
you can physically touch). The more matter, the more gravity, so
things that have a lot of matter such as planets and moons and
stars pull more strongly.
Mass is how we measure the amount of matter in something. The
more massive something is, the more of a gravitational pull it
exerts. As we walk on the surface of the Earth, it pulls on us, and
we pull back. But since the Earth is so much more massive than
we are, the pull from us is not strong enough to move the
Earth, while the pull from the Earth can make us fall flat on our
faces.
In addition to depending on the amount of mass, gravity also
depends on how far you are from something. This is why we are
stuck to the surface of the Earth instead of being pulled off into
the Sun, which has many more times the gravity of the Earth.
8. MOON
Astronaut Sam Bell has a
quintessentially personal
encounter toward the
end of his three-year
stint on the
Moon, where
he, working alongside
his
computer, GERTY, sends
back to Earth parcels of
a resource that has
helped diminish our
planet's power
problems.
9. MOON introduction
If you have strong interested in Astronomy
such as the outer space, you should watch
this movie.
This movie shows the unique loneness and
boring in the outer space.
You also can find how human’s behavior
changes in the moon. (The way to eat or
drink, the way to use tools and so on.)
10. MOON and PHYSICS
The Moon's Motions
Like the sun, the moon rises in the east and sets
in the west (with some exceptions for observers
in earth's extreme northern and southern
regions).
Like the sun, the moon doesn't move across our
sky quite as fast as the stars do.
The moon is always seen near the ecliptic, but its
motion carries it about five degrees to either side
during the course of each month.
11. MOON AND PHYSICS
Your weight on the moon is a function of the
moon's gravity. First, we know that gravity is a
force that attracts all physical objects towards
each other (but why this happens is largely
unknown!). Second, the greater the mass of an
object, the stronger the force of gravity. The
moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's
gravity is much less than the earth's
gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact.
Finally, "weight" is a measure of the gravitational
pull between two objects. So of course you
would weigh much less on the moon. Imagine
how far you could jump on the moon!
