Calc Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken calcs, part 2

Even more Ruby Gillman calcs, this time for speed!

1. Laser Eyes!

Grandmamah fires her 'lasers' (or really, electrically charged bioluminescence), which Ruby reacts to. It acts like a laser beam though, so that's a potential discussion. In anycase it's worth getting a minimum speed. Ruby is 300 feet tall (or 91.44m).

KDM: We were really excited. It was probably the most pushed animation that we've had at DreamWorks with that squash and stretch. It was really organic. Our cephalopod-derived creatures. What was also really fun was giving the opportunity of telling their story through each one. Mom Agatha is the most on the book about being a human — the most upright with the way she carries herself. Dad [Arthur] is a little more loose. And the boy Sam (played by Blue Chapman) is still just a boy with a lot of energy and is bouncing around and probably not behaving the way he should be in school. Ruby, as a teenager, has this arc where she's going from a girl who is hiding in her hoodie and is a little scared of who she is and showing the world who she is — to being a 300-foot tall glowing beacon of hope and light for everyone to find their inner power.

101 pixel = 91.44m
1 pixel = 91.44m/101 = 0.905346535m
Timeframe is 3 frames (with a framerate of 30 frames per second)

T = 1s/30 = 33.3333333ms X 3 = 99.9999999ms

0.905346535m X 441 = 399.257822m


T = 399.257822m/99.9999999ms
= 3992.57822/340.29

2. Ruby swims away


After escaping the big pile of rocks on her, Ruby swims off at high speeds (calc is from the Reddit respect thread again).
430 pixels = 91.44m
1 pixel = 91.44m/430 = 0.212651163m
Timeframe is 5 frames (with a framerate of 30 frames per second).

T = 1s/30
= 33.3333333ms X 5
= 0.166666667s

0.212651163m X 640 = 136.096744m

T = 136.096744m/0.166666667s
= 816.580462/340.29
= Mach 2.39966047

Final Results
Grandmamah's laser eyes = Mach 11.733
Ruby swims away = Mach 2.4
