What speed in MPH would the car have to be going to make the jump? Assuming the smashing glass doesn't significantly decelerate the car?

About 64mph, which I guess is doable. However, if we were to say the drop is less than 5 floors, then the car would have to be going much faster.

Did you just say a car will take off and fly if it reaches 245 mph? Woah.

Nah it's just at that point it'd probably be going fast enough to cannonball between the skyscrapers after dropping however many stories. Probably not going to land upright though!

i wanna see a prequel called Celer et Irae

Vin Diesel plays a star charioteer during the Roman Empire. In order to allow the Emperor's favorite chariot team to win, he is unconstitutionally arrested and held without trial. the ensuing riots almost dethrone the emperor, but the strong female costar convinces the emperor to ~~kill hundreds of people to keep his throne~~ give out modest social reforms to keep the peace

You calculated pounds force acting on the plane of the cars bottom though. If its greater than pounds force weight, also perpendicular to the plane of the cars bottom, by simple vector addition its going to fly. Its almost like a lift calculation doesn't fit the problem statement...

A car will never take off no matter how much lift it generates because it's thrust is coming from the tires spinning on the ground.

You can see twinkie in the background during the intro scenes as an apparition. This further solidifies that Twinkie is the main characters personified desire to be masculine and in the know.

Its strange that hes standing near the evil jocks instead of closer to Sean, maybe that represents some fantasy of 'winning' the affection of his enemies.

I'm going to try to think back to HS physics class.

Distance between towers: 50m (we need to jump this far)
Drop in floors between towers: 5? (we drop ~15m)

Car jump info!!
initial horizontal velocity: 26.822 meters/second
horizontal velocity: 0 m/s
initial vertical velocity: 0 m/s
vertical velocity -9.8 m/s/s
height y: 15m (drop from 1 tower to the next)
distance traveled for the jump x: ????

using the kinematic equations we should first determine the time of flight

-15m = (0 m/s) * t + 0.5 * -9.8 m/s/s * t^2
-15m = 0.5 * -9.8 m/s/s * t^2
-15m = -4.9 m/s/s * t^2
3.06122 s^2 = t^2
total flight time t = 1.75 seconds

Now we can determine the distance traveled x

x = 26.822 m/s * 1.75 s + 0.5*(0 m/s/s) * 1.75 s ^2
total distanct traveled x = 48.47 m

SO, even if you don't account for the loss of speed breaking through the window and air resistance, the car would fall just short of the other tower and Dom would fall to a fiery death.

I would use the x as a known (since we know the distance between the two buildings) and instead solve for y (the drop). Like if the drop was 16m instead of 15m like your assumption, that might be enough to get you over 50m traveled.

You've got gravitational acceleration down as vertical velocity.

x=x₀+v_x0t+.5a_xt²
y=y₀+v_y0t+.5a_yt²

x is distance between buildings
x0 is 0
vx0 is how fast you want to go at takeoff
ax is 0 unless you want to get fancy and include drag (in the negative) based on the frontal area of the car
y0 is 0
vy0 is 0
ay is -9.8m/s^2

Your unknowns are t and y, and you have 2 equations to solve for them. If y is greater than however high you think the car jumps from, it'd have hit the ground before reaching the other tower.

Did these guys get enough distance to go between buildings though??

Luckily, I have my Texas Instruments 83 silver. So solving this should be a breeze......
