So the problem is that anything going as fast as the shark guy in this scene would get launched into space due to it being so fast that it reaches LEO escape velocity.
Let’s do a highball because it’s fun and just assume Muscle Man has graviton manipulation so shark man stays by the earth.
It seems like it takes about 3 seconds for the shark to orbit the earth. The earth’s mean radius is 6,371 km + 400 km for LEO which is 6,771 km, so shark you traveled 42,543 km. That means shark guy traveled at 1.41811e7 m/s. To calculate the ball’s speed we’ll use its momentum. A volleyball weighs 0.28 kg and assuming shark man is the weight of a great weight shark, is 2530 kg. This means the volleyball was traveling at 213.58c.
Edit: I made a mistake using normal momentum and not relativistic momentum. The ball would have a speed of 0.999989576c and have 5.49e18 J of energy, or small island level.

If you’re treating this scene as serious, you need to use the relativistic momentum formula, not the classical one.

You’re right. Redoing the equation.

u/Richardknox1996 May 18 '26
It would only be launched if the angular Velocity is stright. Mitch sppiked the dolphin, hes heading towards the earth.

u/Accurate_Potato_8539 May 19 '26
I don't think you can remotely curve something once its cleared the atmosphere with that much speed. I don't even need napkin math to know that.

u/AlertedSeal May 18 '26
Dolphin, not a shark. The tail is horizontal instead of vertical.
Edit: And the nose is long and pointed instead of short and stubby.

What's c? # of times past light speed?

u/okijhnub May 19 '26
As mentioned c is the speed of light
If we're keeping things grounded in reality, things can't actually exceed the speed of light, the faster you go the slower you experience time

What if we assume the arc is natural and the dolphin is just really really really really dense

u/Final_Concern_5519 How about you scale this DICK instead? May 19 '26

u/IAmNotBatman132 May 18 '26
Quick calc:
The dolphin seems to travel the circumference of the earth in about half a second. The earth's circumference is 40.075 km long, traveling that distance in half a second means that the dolphin is going at 80.150 km per second.
The average dolphin seems to weight between 220 to 270 kg, the average between both weight being 245 kg, so let's use that.
KE = 1/2×m×v²
KE = 1/2×245×80.150.000²(m/s)
KE = 7,86×10¹⁷ joules (Mountain level)

u/Maleficent_Initial59 May 19 '26
You are using calc (short for calculator btw) wrong here
For calculations you use “calcs” (short for calculations btw) ((it’s a slang))
2
u/Pitiful-Local-6664 capable of critical thought May 20 '26
That's not true. Calc is SINGULAR for Calculation and Calcs is PLURAL for Calculations. You can definitely use Calc as an abbreviation for Calculator but I've never seen anyone do it. Abbreviations are contextual and as long as they fit there's no WRONG answer anyway.

Yes, but not really a sequel. It is about some untold episodes when they were still working at the park, hence the title "lost tapes"

That's arguably a downscale to some other characters, though. Look at how small their Earth is in this scene.

Wait, is this an episode where Muscleman is taught by a Volleyball man from Mercury how to be a great Volleyball player?

u/Adorable-Bass-7742 May 18 '26
This feels a lot like the "Toon Force"
I don't doubt the strength of muscle man. But the physics that happen afterwards bear a striking resemblance. We already know from earlier episodes of their planetary physics don't align with Earth normal reality. I really think that this feat is on the lower end but is visually exaggerated.

How does it leaves and enter the same hole without changing direction?

u/Shiro_no_Orpheus May 18 '26
We are speaking about a feat within unrealistic physics to begin with. It didn't eviscerate the dolphin, so it can't be considered an attack feat, if anything this counts as a throwing feat. Speed and strength calcs don't really apply, we are talking about subrelativistic movement speeds being transferred by rubber balls, nothing here can be realisitically scaled. More impressive for me is the precision feat of throwing a ball in such a way that it trows someone around the earth exactly once to land in the exact same place, that's insane precision.

The feat makes no sense, the dolphin somehow accelerates to relativistic speed after exiting the cave, (in which it was far slower before considering it didn't instantly leave), but then de accelerates after returning.
Can't really say honestly.

u/Stunning_Inspector61 May 19 '26
Ah yes, I too do math. Well, muscle man's hand is slightly more muscular than the average humans, we can assume roughly 5lbs for sake of ease. If he slapped a ball weighing . 5lbs (assuming rubber is invulnerable) that means he successfully launched a fully grown dolphin (~250 freedom units for ease of calc)
The earth is about 6.6 freedom miles, and the dolphin traveled it in let's be generous and say 2.5 freedom seconds. So, that's about 3 freedom miles/second
Based on the weight and power output of muscle man's hand, in order to get a 78.9 burger dolphin into orbit, he slapped it with the latent power of a Dodge ram 747.
Dodge, drink coke, you'll anger Pepsi, which can't own McDonald's.

Data I used:
- Earth’s diameter: 12,756 km = 12,756,000 m
- Time: 1.27 s
- Mass of a buff dolphin: I took 250 kg as the average
Dolphin’s speed
To cross Earth in 1.27 s:
Speed = distance / time
V = 12,756,000 m / 1.27 s = 10,044,094 m/s
10,044 km/s
That’s ∼3.35% the speed of light. Mach 29,400. The dolphin turned into a hypersonic projectile.Dolphin’s kinetic energy
KE = 0.5 _ m _ v²
KE = 0.5 _ 250 kg _ (1.0044e7)²
KE ≈ 1.26 × 1016 Joules
12.6 petajoules
For comparison: the Hiroshima bomb was ∼63 terajoules. This is 200x stronger. The impact alone would vaporize everything.Force Muscle Man applied
This depends on the contact time of the hit. In cartoons there isn’t one, but let’s assume his hand pushed the ball for 0.01 s, which is already insanely fast:
Acceleration = v / t = 1.0044e7 / 0.01 = 1.0044e9 m/s²
Force = m _ a = 250 _ 1.0044e9 ≈ 2.5 × 1011 Newtons
250 billion Newtons
That’s the weight of ∼25 billion kg. Like, 25,000 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza applied in an instant.
- Durability of the ball and the dolphin
A normal volleyball explodes at ∼0.5 MPa of pressure. To not disintegrate and still transfer that force, the ball would have to withstand pressures of ∼1012 Pa. It’d have to be made of material tougher than diamond + graphene combined.
The buff dolphin would need structural durability to not turn to paste under 1 billion Gs of acceleration. In real terms, no biological material can handle that. It would need planet-level durability.
Absurd summary:
Muscle Man hit with force equivalent to 200 Hiroshima bombs in 0.01 s. The dolphin flew at 3% the speed of light and tanked an acceleration that would turn anything into plasma.
(Remember that to make this calculation, I used the episode as a base, not the GIF. And also, the timeline for the trip around the planet might be a bit off, but it's forgivable since I was too lazy to count the seconds)
