Physics AP - Barbie and the Wrestlers (#2) Background: Scaling is when you move something in from it is normal state for a larger or small state of thing you won't to compare it to. Scaling can never amount to anything good unless you change the area of a person not the volume of the person. Problem: To measure a person's height and a wrestler's height then project what the wrestler would look at you height. Materials: Wrestler, string, and a meter stick. Procedure: 1. First you have to choose who's going to be compared to the wrestler. Then measure the person neck, biceps, thigh, chest, hip, waist height, and weight. Do the same for the wrestler. 2. To measure the neck loosely put the string around the neck and mark it off with a pen, then measure the marks on the meter stick. Record you data. 3. Repeat step 2 for the biceps, thigh, chest, waist, and hip. 4. Then measure the person's and the wrestler's height with the string or the meter stick. 5. Measure the person and wrestlers weight with a string and measure the string with the meter stick. 6. After you done all your measurements divide the person's height by the wrestler's height. Use that number and multiple all the wrestler's data to find out what the wrestler would like a your height. Data: Type James Wrestler Mult. By New Wrestler Neck 37.7cm 10.1cm 8.79 88.8cm Biceps 31.25cm 7.6cm 8.79 66.8cm Thigh 44.4cm 7.4cm 8.79 65.1cm Chest 90.6cm 16.2cm 8.79 142.4cm Hip 106.1cm 13.2cm 8.79 116.0cm Waist 86.0cm 12.2cm 8.79 107.2cm Height 183.2cm 20.85cm 8.79 183.3cm Weight 704.71Kg .30935Kg 8.79 2.7Kg Analysis/Conclusion: The conclusion I made from this lab is if the wrestler was James's height he couldn't survive, because if you multiple by the area/ height of the person is double, where as the volume of the person is cubed. That mean that person get twice as strong but tree times as heavy, and when you get eight time as heavy as a normal person would be your femur bone would snap so you couldn't stand up. I in this case the wrestler's femurs bone would have snap and is own body weight would have crash him and killed him.
