Scene and Question
Our question is whether the glass would
break when she falls on it, and also
what is the total sum of forces.
Diagrams
 Known and unknowns
Knowns Unknowns
● Y: 10.3632 – we found this

● Impulse
average school bus
● Force
● Mass: 63kg (139 pounds) -
● Time
we found this by searching
for the actress who fell’s
weight
Equations Used

We didn’t have to use any equations to solve our

other question because just her weight would have
broken the window.
Solutions
 Conclusion
She would be able to break through the glass because the PSI to break a car window is 20,000-24,000 which
would be 60 pounds of force. The newtons to break the glass is 267. She has enough force with her weight
or acceleration alone to break the window and much more force with her being in freefall. She weighs 139
pounds and is falling at a force of 640,281 newtons so she is well above the threshold that would break the
glass.
