It's almost like no one watched the Amazing Spider-Man films. He did indeed design his webshooters but the silk was sourced from Oscorp. The cartridges were made by Oscorp from genetically altered spiders, one of which, bit Peter. This made a lot more sense in the real world than actually designing synthetic spider silk but I'm a comic book purist (sort of ) so I liked the fact that he did that in Civil War. :D
Yeah, I don’t like that they changed the radioactivity- I get why they did it, but that seems just as realistic, and pretty iconic tbh
I mean can you blame people for not watching TASM movies?
****SPOILERS****
Back from the future after No Way Home. It appears he may have actually created his own web fluid at some point further in the timeline. I stand to be corrected. 🙂 Forgive my brashness in the past.
Jesus Christ loves you repent from all sins
I watched them. And though they could use some work mechanical web shooters are as cool or more cool and organic web shooters.

or how bout when spider man saw ant man grow
Well the string has to stick to a concrete/brick wall. The string might survive, but how strong is the bond between the spider string and the concrete? Or even the concrete itself, since it's gonna have to withstand so many newtons of pull on such a tiny spot.
+Daniel Athayde according to engineering toolbox the tensile strength varies from 300 to 700 psi. (doesn't specify over what surface area) So would need to know that and then what surface area spiderman's web covers correct?
AlexanderTheGreat91 I guess so, It was all speculatinon, I sucked at high school physics. But the thing is, if there was a layer of paint on a building, it would most likely just peel off when spider man pulled it with his string.
+Daniel Athayde exactly. if he was able to wrap it around a metal pole, and the web stuck to itself, he would have no problem. But if he hit the (for example) the vinyl of a house he would rip it right off. If he hit glass that was secured into the side of a building, im not quite sure what would happen. The web would stick, but if the glass didnt break, i think it would rip it out of its frame. I think.
Actually that's the thing, it's not usually a tiny spot but a bunch of interconnected tiny spots, dispersing the tension among several areas. Concrete could easily withstand it, that's why Spider-Man can do this easily anywhere.
Daniel Athayde
That's why in number 2 he spun his web to multiple buildings to stop a train.
Someone else already mentioned the fact that spider webs stretch so that would change the numbers which you didn't cover. But what I think should also be discussed is the "stickiness". Multiple times he's shown catching things incredibly heavy i.e. a bus, cable car, buildings to stop a train and strictly relying on the surface tention to have enough grip to stop them. The web doesn't wrap around the items like you would with a rope or grappling hook so how much stickiness and surface area would be required to support that much weight?
Another problem: Not only the spider silk would have to hold the force you estimated, but also the "connection" between the silk and the building or whatever he shoots it onto. Not sure if spider silk is adhesive enough for that.
I remember reading the 80's run of the spiderman comics (my aunt was part of the team translating it for norwegian), and the thing that impressed me the most about spiderman was exactly the fact that he friggin managed to not only recreate, but improve upon the design of spidersilk. So he had small rectangular packets about an inch in length, worn on his web shooter. Now, the amount of spidersilk he uses per outing is pretty big, so I can see why the Toby Mcguire films decided on "nah, he's just got semi-magical glands now" instead of building a web shooter. Looking forward to see you tackle this.
Now you just have to tell us how the spider bite gave Peter superpowers, Kyle.
Well according to Ezekiel he is a Totem basically an animal God has blessed him with powers of that animal. The radioactive spider was actually a spider god that was gonna die so it decided to bless him with his powers
What comic book did that originate in?
I think it was in Spider-Man: The Other?
I think you got the weight wrong if we are considering Spider-Man 3. He has to live with the weight of (at least partially) ruining that franchise.
Savage.
We weren't trying to have that kind tea right now
No chill
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Then again with Amazing Spider-Man 2.
the fact that Peter Invented his web Fluid (and web shooters really) is kinda a Big deal, it's the part of his character design that's a constant Physical manifestation of his Genius, I mean in Earth 616 he has an IQ of 250, Reed Richards (the guy who figures out new ways to hop dimensions in his spare time) once said that Peter is as Smart as he himself was at his age! Reed Never said anything of the sort to Tony Stark, in fact Tony gets confused when Reed, Hank Pym and Bruce Banner get together and start Talking science in earnest, Tony Just flat out can't keep up with these guys... Translation: Peter's smarter than Tony, he just doesn't the Experience, Cash or spare time to do what Tony does... Heck during the Civil War comics Peter Hacked Tony's Mainframe like it was nothing, while Tony had actively set up protections against him specifically!
That said, Peter's web fluid once it's out of his wrists is actually pretty close to real Spider Silk in Tensile Strength, well the basic recipe is anyway, Peter's made a few Variants for special occasions or Villain countering over the years. Such as Webs that Burn, webs that Electrocute, Acid Resistant webs and a bunch of others I'm too lazy to enumerate...
Anyway my point being that the Webshooters are FAR more Efficient than an underground Spider Silk Farm, and more versatile to boot... that and spiders don't tend to play nice with each other, they're kill/eat each other if they get too close to one an others territory. Someone In real life decided to make a dress (looks like a poncho really) made from spider silk... it took them about 3 YEARS to collect enough silk to make that one dress, and they were being as efficient as possible considering how much space "Spiders farms" take up in order to avoid the spiders eating each other... now if Peter could do like Ant-Man Does with ants but with spiders, and he had a few million of them constantly Spinning webs, or some genetically Engineered super spiders designed to Crap out Absurd amounts of Silk in a Specialized High tech lab, then sure the underground Silk farm would work... but he has neither, so he'll have to make due with his far more efficient fluid brewed with his home chemistry set!
+TheMadHatterThatMatters ahahahahaahahha after reading that while thing you just see this at the lmao so cancer
There's one more thing about web shooters that you forgot: They don't actually exist.
+KG Motte I thought it was because Stark was more like an engineer
Gabu - San
that just makes his Invention of them even more impressive within that world! plus his Major is Biochemisty not Engineering
L4v31d3m
Personally I like to Describe Tony as a "Glorified Mechanic", not really a Scientist(at least compared to other Science Driven Heroes and Villains from Marvel)... But don't get me wrong he's a Super-genius of a mechanic, the stuff he builds is really advanced, but it's generally only enhanced versions of stuff that already exists in the real world: Armor, flight(Jet packs), Advanced Computers and H.U.D., ranged weapons(missiles, Lasers, tracers), Strength enhancing servos, his most impressive feat is his ARK Reactor which is pretty much just a suped up Battery and not a Reactor (since he's regularly seen needing to recharge it, if it were a Reactor it would CREATE power not just store it, though this varies by version). it's all impressive stuff, but compared to Inventing entirely new Technologies, Such as Pym Particles to shrink or portals to other dimensions or stronger than Spider silk Ultra-compact Webbing that can easily be shot 60 Feet away, Tony's inventions are kinda like a Fancy Modified Street racing car! It's a really impressive car, but it's not gonna compete with a Fighter Jet or a Teleporter anytime soon...
+KG Motte where in the civil war comic does spiderman hack tonys mainframe? I just read the comic and dont remember anything about that.
So I can build a web shooter, have millions of spiders I harvest for silk, make sticky shoes & gloves, then become spider man?
I'm on board then.
Oh also martial arts training, a witty sense of humor & quipping.
+Vizthex And the ability to survive the G forces involved in the swings... I can imagine they may get pretty intense.

I like this, because according to the comics, Spider-Man's web line can resist 10 tons of force, just like you explained in the video! Amazing!

Unworthy Thor, Beta Rey unmasked, Donald Masterson...
There's actual science behind weaving spider silk for actual use. I had to do a research project in Biology in 10th grade. There's a company that is making spider slik applicable to be used. They take the genetic coding for spiders that allow them to produce silk and rewriting it into that of a cow so when a cow gets milked it's milk will also contain spider silk. They plan to make stuff like body armor seeing it's more lightweight than Kevlar and has the capability to have a higher resistance to stuff like bullets
Chad Duffney I know we're SPIDER man gets his webs. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
actually it wasn't cows that where genetically modified it was goats
Dawn Seeker I swear it was cows
you are partially right but cows are not as efficient as goats here is an article about it www.wired.com/2002/01/cow-used-in-man-made-spider-web/
Doesn't matter, carbon nanotubes are still stronger.
IN REAL LIFE HOWEVER spider webs are elastic and to find out the tension you would have to use T=(λX)/l , where λ is the modulus of elasticity, x is the extension and l the original length of the web. Great video non the less :)
bruh......
+coolu32 Good point! A bit too much to fit into just one video though... -- KH
+Nerdist Agreed, appreciate your work though, good job :D
He syas none of the spiderman movies were good (cough) spiderman 2 considerd one of the best marvel movies yet soo ye go check that out
+Nerdist Another question you didn´t answer (which you might do in another video) would a real human arm, be able to stand up to the kind of pull spider-mans arms gets exposed to, each time he swings through the city or would spider-man suffer from a serious chase of Dislocated shoulder after the first swing.
(i do remember a comic where spider-man got his powers removed and he tried to swing, the comic described it as spider-man feeling like his arms where being pulled off, so i don´t know could a real human swing like spider-man or is that only possible in comics.)
Had an exam on mechanics only a few days ago and I now realise I got a question on centripetal force wrong. Thanks Kyle.
Lol, Kyle "webbed" all over his face.
Yes, yes. I'll go back to middle school.
If Cap's Shield (Vibranium) absorbs all energy. Then when his Shield hit someone, it would just absorb all the energy(force (kinetic energy)) and the shield would just drop harmlessly. So how do the ppl he hit with his Shield fall back? Pls ans Kyle.
Actually that's a good point.
+Bhargav Sharma Well it could be that the shield actually has a threshold as to how hard it needed to be hit so the absorptive properties kick in. If it's hit with say, Thor's hammer, an RPG round, or a bullet, that would cause sufficient impact. Any impact lower than that then it acts like a spring.
Another possible explanation would be that the edge of the shield is lined with another metal. If it were me, I'd line the edge with some sort of Titanium Alloy. Lightweight, springy as steel, very very durable too.
Or maybe the orientation of impact on the shield matters? Maybe when the grain or molecular structure of Vibranium, aligned just right with the shape of the shield, an impact at the edge makes the shield springy instead of absorptive.
However, springiness actually makes it less impactful towards the target. I can understand how normal humans can be knocked out by a metal object hitting them on the head regardless whether they're bouncy or not, but it did have quite an effect against the Hulk as well and the shield bounced well too. Maybe the shield can store energy (the granular structure tenses up and ready to "pop" when impacted the right way, say at the side of the structure?) and release it at the edge?
+Anif Abdul Fatah gr8 explanation. I would also love it if Kyle did a video on this.
+Bhargav Sharma maybe its cuz he throws his shield like a frisbee, and the edges dont absorb the energy maybe? like it flexes less if it hits at the edge
yea, maybe the shield is a vibranium/ proto adamantium alloy with a pure adamantium rim

He did.
I have a question. How big would a dragons wings have to be?
+Patrick Ritter Absolutely enormous. -- KH
+Nerdist do a vid on that
I'd watch that.
More specifically. Depends on the weight of the Dragon and the size of it. Multi ton Dragons are likely impossible without wingspans measured in the double digits of meters. They also probably couldn't get off the ground without the necessary calorie intake, Which would be tens to hundreds of thousands of calories to sustain flights longer than a few minutes. Now if we're talking about a Dragon who is smaller, or their bones and flesh are made of lighter materials, then yes a dragon could fly reasonably with the wings they have, maybe. Depends. If they had the kinds of bones the Na'vi from Avatar had and their mass was suitably adjusted, then yeah, fantasy dragons should be able to fly, but only barely.
Even if they got gas-pockets in their bodies with flammable lighter-than-air gases?
Spiderman doesn't shoot one large string of silk, he shoots several thin strings of silk each time, so the force would be divided between multiple strands, not just the one.
+drnekodr But do you see why I make assumptions to simplify things? When you analyze pop culture like this, there is a very fine line on how far you want to go. Sure, multiple strands make sense, but how many does he shoot, specifically, canonically? What is the width of each strand? Prove it. Doing calculations in fictional universes has to be general, because no science will ever account for every permutation of powers over decades of stories. -- KH
***** True, just pointing out that he shoots several strands. But you are right, it has to be simplified, and you did a fantastic job.

Well aren't you just special...Im joking, when I was in 7th and 10th grade I knew this, but by the time I got to college it had all left my memory
I see
You don't even need high school physics to
Please do a video on Spider-Man's web shooters, like you already mentioned. Calculate the force necessary to shoot the spider webs between buildings. Also calculate the adhesive strength necessary to hold the spider web to buildings. And address the localized adhesive properties of the spider web only at the ends, so Spider-Man can let go of it. And that the web doesn't lose stickiness at the end due to wind resistance and particles in the air that adhere to it as it is being shot at buildings. Fun video. Thanks!

***** Chris hemsworth is Thor...
I always saw it as Peter working out how to artificially manufacture spider silk, something I think a lot of scientists have been trying to do for a long time, but made it even stronger and lighter, and then compressed it into his web cartidges.
Let's be honest here, the only reason that the majority of us are subscribed to Nerdist in the first place is for "Because Science". Keep up the good work Kyle.
+James Lake pretty much, I wish this was just it's own channel.
I think the reason for making synthetic webbing isn't that it's _better_ than real spider silk, per se, it's just that is the only way for P.P. (how often do you think he was called that in grade school?) to get the quantities he needs, and get it as small as he needs (compressed somehow in the cartridges).
Another important question, though: given that there are two varieties of silk from any web-building spider (structural and sticky -- one makes the web, transmits vibrations, and allows spider movement, while the other actually catches prey) how sticky can it get, and how strong is the sticky part? We're assuming that random gargoyles and building bricks can withstand the forces involved in SpiderMan's swinging, but what about the point of contact for the strand?
peters spider sense comes into it there it guides his aim to ensure that he will always find secure structures to swing from and avoid any swing points that are not up to the job
+chris winfield Yeah, I was ignoring that part completely and intentionally. I'm curious about the part of the strand that connects to the building, light pole, etc.
00:52 that's a circle arc, not a parabolic arc.
+Steve Dice I agree! Almost had a stroke every time he says "parabolic". but even so, if the web is flexible (which he did not state at the begining of the video), I guess maybe it could end up parabolic, since the will be the greatest centrifugal (yes, centrifugal, talking on spidey's frame of reference here) force and thus more dislocation on the "spring" that the web would be...
And he also says "arc" later on... consistency... -.-
Had this crazy dream once where i woke up looking at my ceiling to watch a spider webswing backfliping and laughing yelling whoo around my rooms ceiling.
The other movies weren't good? 3 and the "amazing" ones I agree. However the first 2 are objectively good, as in they're good movies whether they are your cup of tea or not.

Kyle Hill: "I hate you."

+Tony Redgrave They would never solidify fast enough, and if they had solidified before Spiderman deployed them they wouldn't stick to anything.
I know it's not true to the comics, but I like spiderman better with the wrist web glands that the original movies had.
+Archangel He very briefly had organic web in the comics but then lost it.
Same. Made sense given the title "Spider-Man"
Right because that was the only cool thing he had relating to a spider. Everyone can run fast, lift stuff, climb walls, and dodge stuff. But not everyone can "thwip" webs.
TheMadHatterThatMatters
Those aren't spider-related or specific powers. Most super heroes have those abilities, as for being able to climb walls frankly any one can climb a wall provided it has something to grab onto. That said he isn't the only hero that can do that, not even in the marvel universe nightcrawler is usually shown being able to do it as well for example. The organic webbing is very specifically spider-related. It sort of makes sense.
***** that was the joke dumbass.
Okay, I'll admit: I don't quite understand a lot of the math and science behind most of your videos' concepts (due to the fact that I'm a 10th grader in Honors Pre-Calculus and Chemistry), but I do find them very entertaining.
Don't worry. I'm a junior in Chem and AP Calc, and I can understand most-- but not all of it. You'll get it eventually.
Vickymonswer346 I'm taking AP Calculus AB and AP Physics next year so I'll probably understand these videos later on.
Ah my next comic book idea... Gecko Man with Sweet Abs!
Isn't spider silk really, really stretchy though? Surely a real-life Spiderman would end off hitting the ground?
I dont think it is. Otherwise it wouldnt hold its shape enough to make a web and grab prey
+Kj16V Stretchy, but not overly stretchy. Spider silk is famous for being able to stretch ~30% while maintaining its strength, but more than that the strength plummets. My guess would be Parker could learn to account for a possible 30% stretch no problem. -- KH
How about a video on how Captain America's shield can ricochet and not just fall?
im not sure but i recall it having poles, one pole absorbs force the other pole bounces (im 100% if its canon)
+crackdchosen1 I know it's something about absorbing vibrations and kinetic energy. His shield would be like a metal super ball in which it could absorb the opposing surface force and bounce off a given surface unless it's a perfect pinch like in the First Avenger movie.
Thanks Kyle for reminding me why I hated high school physics.
+Tyler Schmidt You're welcome! -- KH
this guy's videos make sense throughout the video in comparison to those vlogers who
just lack content.
Kyle's explanations/rants at the end are always the best part of the video, IMO.
Spider-Man would not shoot webs out of his butt if they were organic. To harvest webs scientists have spliced spider genes with goats so they can make lots of silk. Where does this silk come from on goats? It's in their milk! Nipple webs! Can you imagine Spider-Man shooting webs from his nipples and swing around town on them? SEXY!
+Tr-8r makes sense to me
+TrulyEvilBob Spider-Man would shoot out silk from spinnerets that are #AnalAdjacent if he was more like a spider. And everything about goats you said was right except that those GM goats just made spider silk proteins, not actual silk. -- KH
+Nerdist still "I shoot silk out me mammaries" sounds better than I shoot silk out my analadjacent spinnerets
need to do one on Ant-Man, and his huge scene in Civil War
+Geeky Hoody You may have guessed next week's episode...maybe. -- KH
+Nerdist yes!
+Nerdist Wouldn't he just... float away? I mean, his density would probably be less than that of air at that large volume, especially since it'll most likely be the exact opposite of him shrinking.
well the actual reason he doesn't use organic spiders silk is because it's hard to obtain because it's hard to farm in the amazing spiderman he does us organic web though
Nice Dodgeball reference. Haha
So... who cleans up Spider-Man’s silk after he swings around town?...
It dissolves in an hour
great episode, but a few things to note. in some comic lines, spider actually emits his own natural webbing just like real spiders do. secondly, i think the created version of his formula works better than carrying around actual spider silk, even if he could, because he carry's it in small light weight cartridges, and can change the formula to change the properties of his web in accordance with his needs.
here we go....my fav show!

I literally listened to almost none of the episode. I was in the comments. But when I looked up and you said BECAUSE SCIENCE I felt like it was an actual science lesson. And you know everyone hates those!
Overcomplicated deduction of centripetal acceleration man. Centripetal force = (mv^2)/R; F = ma. Therefore, the acceleration caused by the centripetal force, then, substituting force, you get: (mv^2)/R = ma, cancel out the mass, and voilà, a=(v^2)/R.

+StellarSoup96 You're welcome
+Maximilian Büttner The blaster bolt is made up of photons, he just held the photons in place with the force. There's nothing really to it.
+SS2LP ... except photons can't be held in place. They're always moving at the speed of light. And considering we can see Blaster bolts move from one place to the other, they're already going slower than the speed of light. They must be some kind of particle beam that's not photons. Most importantly though, TFA sucks.
As for the photon discussion: there is a researcher who has found a way to slow down light through the manipulation of temperature: www.radiolab.org/people/r/?n=Lene+Vestergaard+Hau
However, blaster bolts in Star Wars are supposed to be plasma, the 4th state of matter. That could be contained within a kind of magnetic field, since plasma is a mass of highly charged particles and responds to magnetism. Now, as for if the bolt would remain and not just dissipate as it hung there is science beyond my knowledge, but I think "because it's cool" was what the script writers were thinking :-)
Maybe he just makes the spider silk himself because of the whole radioactive spiderbite.

+Vicky Jaenicke Just smile and nod, the secret is to pretend you understand.
I liked in the Toby movies that he actually mutated to shoot webs. He’s a human spider. So at the end, when you say he shouldn’t be that strong, the spider that bites him is genetically made stronger. So he doesn’t do what a normal spider can, but he can do what a highly genetically modified, probably closer to a xenomorph, can
Had a game running when watching and music started when you went into how much the spider silk would need to withstand and the music dimmed down when you stopped and then started back up loudly when you went on again.
Great video! The arc would be circular not parabolic tho. Just sayin'
+RubikMaster13 I thought that too but now I realize that spider silk is very elastic. So I guess it would be neither :P
i guess nobody here realizes that Spiderman was bitten by a SUPER GENETICALLY MODIFIED SUPER SPIDER which is where he gets his strength, leaping and spider sense from
Burning Bridges NERDDDDDD
super nerd
Burning Bridges yep
In the comics Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Spider-Man which is the origin of his wall climbing, superhuman reflexes and "spider sense". The only "power" he has due to gadgets is his spider webs.
Dre Ronayne you're so wrong it's not even funny. He is most definitely bitten by a radioactive spider.
So are you left handed writing backwards, or are you right handed writing normally with the video flipped?
its flipped
I'd love for there to be a scene in a spiderman movie where spiderman is just going around cleaning up all the webs he left behind from swinging about everywhere
one thing to consider is that peter makes the webbing as a pressurized chemical that the bite "taught" him how to make (there are several cases in comics and show that the shooters are damaged and there was a explosion of webs) so its is "organic" he just lacks the biology to produce it internally
Good luck to all you guys who want to harvest spider silk to become spider-man. Hope you know spiders don't like being near each other so you'll need a separate each spider if you want them to live and keep producing the silk you need.
+King V-raptor You could always use Anelosimus Eximius, or one of the other 20 or so species of social spiders.
That way, you could have upwards of 50'000 spiders all together without fear of them eating/killing each other.
+King V-raptor phys.org/news/2010-05-scientists-goats-spider-silk.html
DraconasLyrr About those spider goats sure you get allot of silk but they take way too long turn into spider silk from web fluid(milk) to silk for you to use it in a fight. You would only be able to have pre-made ropes, nets and grabbling hooks and they actually are weaker than actual spider silk only 1/3 as powerful at best. If we try the quick dry silk it is only 1/10 at best and quickly loses its strength because it is not fully formed.
***** I never knew about social spiders. Thanks for that. Still good luck taking that from them and making launchers with them.
King V-raptor
But Spider-Goats. =(
the ending part : you haven't read spiderverse huh lol
I love this guy. These videos make my day!
+Criss Chaos Thanks Criss! -- KH
Spider-Man doesn't swing in a parabola; when tethered, he has a fixed distance from a single point, so that would be an arc. He travels parabolically when he is launched into free fall.
Ok, I know you've probably been told this a dozen times but... geckos don't have hairs. They have grooves, like fingerprints kinda on their toes that they use almost like suction cups. It's why their toes curl backwards, which is exceedingly awesome 😁
He has to criticize the fact that many features of spiderman are not unique to spiders in every spiderman video xD
BTW I think the spidey sense idea comes from the hairs on a spider's body that detect changes in air pressure from every direction, aswell as their many eye's, of which some point upwards or backwards, making it hard to surprise a spider. Also some spiders like wolf spiders and jumping spiders are very fast, can jump very well, are agile and have great senses, so many of spiderman's abilities are actually quite spider-like IMO. Of course the web and wall crawling also match, so even though many of spiderman's features are not unique to spiders, the combination of all of them only match spider abilities.
From all those eyes (8 in total) only 2 (the big ones) are really seeing eyes. The others register light and shadow only, so having 4 eyes on the back of his "head" is great still, but he can't really see you in shape and colour, only that you are shadowing the light (which will alarm this 8-legged little guy still).
kyle hill , explain the spider sense!! i must know
grow a pair.
vsauce 3/ Nerdist colab please
+Naythan Garcia I would love to. Someone tell Jake. -- KH
Kyle Hill I like how you write backwards on the glass, I like to watch this show in a reflection so it feels more like it is from your perspective.
Bruh the g-force of a swing from the Empire State would no doubt pull your arms from the socket and you’d plummet to the street and become pancake man.
You forgot to touch the subject on web flexibility. Spiderweb is very strong, but one of the reasons why it's not used (yet) on body armor, is that it is too flexible (the bullet would pierce your entire body and then bounce back, not too cool).
+MaximusPayne You are right. Spider silk has very high Young's modulus. It becomes twice its size at 55MPa, which is far less than the strain that will be experienced by the web line.
+Aaditya Phadnis Holy shit balls its getting smart up in here. What does that mean in laymans terms?
+Johnathan Amrein It's the matter of elasticity. All elastic materials stretches under load. When we talk about wires or strings, their strength and elasticity depends upon their thickness. If a wire is more thick, it can withstand more load without much change in its length.
For Spiderman's typical webline, the thickness of the web is about 1 cm in diameter. When we work out the math, the stress in the webline is 86.6 million Newton per sq meters (written as 86.6 MPa). (If you didn't understood the math, just remember the number 86.6 MPa).
We have a system to measure how much a material will stretch under certain load. By previous experiments, we know all about how real spider silk will behave under stress. (If you want to read more
googleweblight.com/?lite_url=www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/bioed/bealsmodules/spider.html&ei=KS1zmP9p&lc=en-IN&s=1&m=686&host=www.google.co.in&ts=1463890879&sig=APY536xHH_x_vDfQ9DyBvdlswkC5IbAeQA
)
From that data we know that the spider silk will stretch by 100% (twice it's length) when the stress is 25 MPa (much less than 86.6MPa required). The silk will stretch to 150% of its original length when spidey will try to swing on it. You can think what will happy if Spidey's webline is loose.
splat?
Wait.... wait... the first Spiderman movie (2002) wasn't good? What?
+PCWarMachine It was over a decade ago
0:05 - I would suggest reading the comics, and not looking at the movies, if you want to know spiderman's character, or any characters character. Watching second hand movies based off a character isn't a good way to get to know them. Like if you watched all the live action versions of batman you'd probably have no idea why he is called the world's greatest detective in comic books.
7:44 - *"not spider like"* So because the web is not shot from an organic organ and located in the right place it isn't similar enough? Isn't it similar enough to a spider just by having webbing to shoot?
You should look up the jumping spider, for a comparison to Spider man's leaping ability, and a comparison for Spider man's spidey sense comes from the same spider. Jumping spiders have a 360 degree field of view and fine hairs that can sense vibrations, not just on webs, but on any surface they're on and even vibrations in the air.
+TheMadHatterThatMatters The spider his powers came from had been enhanced to have abilities from several different spiders.
Depends on the Spider-Man in question. The original was bitten by a "radioactive" spider, the Raimi Spider Man was bitten by a genetically enhanced spider that was created by recombining the DNA of 5-6 different spiders then subjecting the DNA to gene therapy, in the Toei live-action series Supaidāman from the 70's Takuya Yamashiro meets the Garia, the last survivor of "Planet Spider" and is injected with his blood which turns him into a "Man from Spider" and also allows him to summon the ultra-cool Leapardon mech. (because Japan)
Spidey has had several origin stories over the years.
I'm in physics right now in high school, and that plug and chug reference was so true😂
You forgot to factor in the added weight of Uncle Ben's death he carries.
Where does the spider silk go after hes done using them? Is it just hanging all over New York?
+icedragon2812 This is something that has ALWAYS bothered me! I imagine it's biodegradable so it probably goes away on its own but every Spiderman related thing I see, this is all I ever think about!
I like to imagine that the city has giant swiffer dusters though to get rid of the webs (hee hee)
+icedragon2812 If memory serves, Spidey's web only lasts for about half an hour or so, if that, before degrading. The movies never address it but the comics and I think at least one cartoon definitely has.
It's an hour, they dissolve on average after an hour.
In the latest SpiderMan, he webs what'shisname to a car (after failing to intimidate) and runs off saying, "You be free in a couple of hours!" which I remember also from the comics. 2 hours is canon. Fun fact: The bad guy he webs is Miles Morales's (the new Spider-Man) uncle, and MM is referenced in an earlier line by him, "Hey my newphew lives in this neighborhood." Paraphrased, but it's true.
I like the organic webbing better.
God Bear me too
Geekly Gamer
He could've had both. He's a smart kid so he could've made his web shooters first then later on as an adult discovered that he has organic webbing.
God Bear true
God Bear i think something they could do to excuse why he uses the fake web instead of his organic web (even though Silk who was bit by the same spider has organic webbing) is linking it to his bodies nutrient levels since i at least assume all that silk has to come from somewhere lol
Dat hot new Aunt Mae tho..
Ikr when i watched i Was like.......ohhhhhhhh yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh
This is probably the only math related thing I'll ever watch tbh
You can say the same thing (end of the video) about Batman. He dresses nothing like a bat, he's not blind and doesn't navigate using high-pitch sonar noises, he can't fly (only somewhat glide), and he doesn't have awesome hearing or ears which can rotate. Granted, all of this would be hoffifying.
