Abstract

In this paper we investigate the superhero Elastigirl. We used a scenario in ‘The Incredibles’ in order to calculate her Young’s modulus, which was found to be 7.6×107Pa. By comparing this to other materials such as rubber this value seems plausible. The study was then taken further to determine the elastic potential energy stored by Elastigirl during this scene, which was found to be 13×106J.
