Funny clip. BF gives her a valentine present leaves, locking her in the car. Not sure if it's staged through....lol
Ms.Lane,Car windows are tempered and explode into a million tiny pieces no bigger than an 1/8" most are much smaller.
Just as a matter of practical curiosity, can a person of ordinary physique kic out a window that is power-locked?
Would the window pop out cleanly or would it shatter?
Can this be done wearing ordinary shoes?
What would be the chances of getting hurt or being cut badly by glass?
I am curious about the amount of leverage required, the weight needed, the point of leverage. What class of lever is the body or leg here?
Force = mass x acceleration !!! wow! What would be the mass of the lady? 60 kg, 130 lbs?, and acceleration when angry enough? Nice thought, how many meters per second?
Force x distance = work;
so, the distance will be a limitation, since the space to kick is small, and her weight is not too great!! Plus, we need to worry about the fact that her shoes and/or feet are not too suited for the impact!! Real issue, that, don't you think? Would you have risked kicking glass, is what I seriously am interested in, because I know I did get badly cut trying to open a glass-paned door when locked out!
I am merely a person who overthinks every situation. I am not being facetious, but quite sincere in putting these questions to anyone who has useful answers. Now Ms.Lane has proposed a solution that will tease me until a convincing answer is given. Any help, please?
The kicker in this problem is the plate-glass window being locked into some groove, and I have no idea with what firmness. That multiplies its mass and hence the force needed to either dislodge it or to break it. Here is where practical experience outweighs theory. I can sit and imagine theoretical solutions until the cows come home! Any help? TIA. Originally Posted by greenpeace2014
