Math and physics can show up when you least expect

The video explores the complexities of animation in Pixar movies, focusing on the physics of animating hair and other elements. It discusses the challenges of resonance in structural engineering, using examples like the Millennium Bridge and Tacoma Bridge. The video also examines the effects of parabolic reflection in building design, highlighting incidents at the Vidora Hotel and a London building. These topics illustrate the intersection of physics, engineering, and design in real-world applications.

What was the primary challenge in animating the character's hair in the movie 'Brave'?

• Simulating the natural movement of curly hair

• Animating the character's clothing

• Creating realistic facial expressions

• Designing the character's eyes

Which Pixar movie required new rendering techniques to achieve the desired visual effects?

• Brave

• Cars

• Moana

• Monsters University

What phenomenon caused a building in South Korea to shake for 10 minutes?

• Construction work

• Resonance from people exercising

• Strong winds

• An earthquake

What is resonance in the context of structural engineering?

• The collapse of a structure due to external forces

• The amplification of vibrations at a specific frequency

• The damping of vibrations in a structure

• The natural frequency of a structure

What was the cause of the 'death ray' effect at the Las Vegas hotel?

• High temperatures in the desert

• A parabolic surface concentrating sunlight

• A faulty air conditioning system

• Reflective pool tiles

How did the design of a building in London lead to damage on the street below?

• The concave design concentrated sunlight

• The building's height caused strong winds

• The building's color absorbed too much heat

• The windows were not properly insulated

What solution was implemented to mitigate the 'death ray' effect at the Las Vegas hotel?

• Installing air conditioning units

• Adding more poolside umbrellas

• Applying non-reflective film on windows

• Changing the building's color
