Electrostatic Force of Star Lord’s Gravity Mine in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 1. Selected Scene Star Lord’s gravity mine weapon from Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 2. Explain what would be needed if electrostatic forces were the cause of one of these scenes. You can pick which scene to analyze. Assuming electrostatic forces are the cause of the attracting of the canister shown in the video clip, we can assume that the gravity mine either has a positive or negative charge. This is because the canister will have a neutral charge, and the pulling force will not occur without the two objects being oppositely charged. If the gravity mine has a positive charge it will repel the protons in the canister causing it to have a negative charge. This makes the two objects attract since they are now opposite charges, and works in the same way if the gravity mine is negative. 3. Using reasonable assumptions for the known quantities, determine the numerical values necessary for the scene to happen. Data: Displacement: The measurement system across all Lego Video Games is an (X,Y,Z) coordinate system using units. This coordinate system is accessible through either a debug copy of the game, or by accessing the float memory address through a software called Cheat Engine. This system is measured in “units”. To easily convert this to the metric system, we can compare the width of any regular sized lego minifigure. In game, the width of a minifigure is 1/4th of a unit, while a real lego minifigure’s width is 1.6 cm. Using this we can find the conversion between units to cm: 1.6cm * 4 = 6.4 cm 1 unit = 6.4 cm Since the displacement of the metal canister is 1.075 units we are able to convert that to 6.88 cm.
