	Cartoon physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cartoon physics is a joking reference to the fact that animation allows regular laws of physics to be ignored in humorous ways or dramatic effects.
		Adherents of evolutionary psychology have suggested that the humorous effect of cartoon physics is due to the interplay of intuitions between physics (objective) and psychology (self-perception).
		Cartoon collision physics are a subset of cartoon physics regarding the laws of collisions.

	Cartoon Laws of Physics
		Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely.
		Cartoon Law IV The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken.
		This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large.

		Cartoon Law IV ============== The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken.
		Cartoon Law Amendment B ======================= The laws of object permanence are nullified for "cool" characters.
		Cartoon Law Amendment E ======================= Dynamite is spontaneously generated in "C-spaces" (spaces in which cartoon laws hold).

		The Warner Bros. cartoons, classics of the genre and exponentially more playful and bizarre than such as Disney, are enough to make a Physics teacher break out in hives if they were to try and fully grasp it all.
		A cartoon character who has been severely startled and attempts to run away from his/her adversary seemingly possesses infinite inertia for a short time.

		When ever a biulder rolls over Tom or any cartoon cat, they are flatted thin, but then they can re inflate themself using their own lungs, but what strikes me as od is that where is the air they are blowing coming from since their lungs have been flattened.
		In many cartoon that I have seen such as those old cartoon from the 70's like Space Ghost, Space Ghost and his human sidekicks are able to fly through space without the use of a space suit.

		Proof: as soon as characters who can (barely) fly (with or without mechanical assistance) cross the threshold of the cliff edge or windowsill, their trajectory takes a sharp downward trend, but upon further exertion by the toon and/or its mechanical assistance, level flight is re-achieved.

		Cartoon Guide cuts the nonsense and filler of your average high school physics and goes straight to the heart of the matter in a way that is accessible yet not at all dumbed down.
		The primary hurdle to overcome in learning the basics of physics is believing that it is indeed possible for you to learn them.
		Using simple diagrams and plain language, you are walked through a basic physics course, from the concept of linear motion to the most "bizarre" consequences of relativity.

		The guide indeed tries to cover a significant amount of the usual high-school physics course - mechanics, electricity and magnetism (missing are thermodynamics and optics) - but it is not really as charmingly funny as the Cartoon History of the Universe.
		But the desired blend between the textbook and the cartoon resulted in something that is not educational enough to actually learn something from it and too boring to make a good cartoon.
		This is essentially a comic book, yet it is able to communicate the fundamental laws of physics taught in an introductory high school physics course and some taught in college such as relativity.

		Animators are expert at creating moving imagery and hence conveying information, be it the personality of a character, their actions, or the elements of a story.
		Procedural methods, such as motion capture or physics simulation, also generate motion, yet are typically less effective than hand animation.
		Squash-and-stretch can also convey information about the physical properties of objects (their mass, hardness and so on).

		It is not as easy as it seems to reach a good and realistic result when it comes to the so-called "cartoon science." Pixar has recently released the hit Monsters Inc., in which the art of animation is taken to its highest levels.
		In this article we will give you a brief insight of the movie's making process, putting both computation and cartoon physics in focus, besides general animation ideas.
		Whitfield has an interesting point: just as the laws of physics are a simplification of reality, so animated worlds are governed by a simplified version of physics - cartoon science.
