Good Physics #1


Motorcyclist goes flying after hitting a green bin

In this scene, a motorcyclist pursuing Lee and Carter pulls his motorcycle tries to avoid hitting a green bin, hits it and goes flying up. The motorcyclist goes flying (projectile motion) in an arc and into the open back of a truck. He then goes flying UP through the windshield into the windshield of a parked car.
    This is an example of Newton's First and Second law (Newton) acting in accordance with each other as well as projectile motion. The motorcyclist hits the bin, because of Newton's first law he continues his motion instead because of the second law he travels upwards since he drew his motorcycle up. He starts his upward motion and goes flying up until he reaches his maximum height and he begins his descent.
