This day I thought I had a great idea. My plan was to push this spring back and use it’s energy to propel me forward faster than the road runner, sounds simple right? What I didn’t understand is that in the cartoon world the spring will give me more energy than I put in…. so much for conservation of energy. I pushed the spring back a couple meters and it launched me almost a kilometer! In the real world this wouldn’t happen since the potential energy I put in would transfer to an equal amount of kinetic energy out.
