Let’s Begin…

What if super speed wasn’t just the stuff of epic comic book stories? Is it scientifically possible to be super speed? In this series, Joy Lin tackles six superpowers and reveals just how scientifically realistic they can be to us mere mortals.

Please use Newton’s First Law of Motion to explain what would happen to the girl’s brain when she is moved by the superhero at super speed.
