How Large does Alice Grow
After drinking the potion and shrinking to
a miniscule size Alice realizes she forgot the key to the door
on the table.
To remedy this problem, Alice finds some cookies and takes a
bite. This causes her to become humongous.
Let's find out how large Alice becomes!
To solve this problem we will use kinematics equations and
geometric proportions of the human body.
In this scene, Alice is sitting cross-legged and is crying
because of her helpless situation. We will use the time her
tears take to reach the ground to estimate the height of her
eye and use human proportions to calculate her height.
After reviewing the footage I measured the tear taking
2.4 seconds to reach the ground. By measuring the height of my
eye while sitting down and comparing it to my standing
height I determined that the appropriate coefficient for
her standing height to her seated height is 5/2.
With this information i developed the following equation.
Therefore we can conclude that Alice grows to 141 meters tall!
