For the long Thanksgiving weekend, one of my friends hosted a pool / barbecue party. It was real fun and everyone enjoyed their time. We played cards, grilled food, relaxed in the jacuzzi, and some people sang karaoke. But as usual me and my friends were messing with each other. They thought it would be funny to shake up my soda while I was not looking and watched me open it. After it blew up, I realized that it was a explosion reaction. An explosion reaction's equation, which is the combined mass of all the components' multiplied by its velocity is equal to the mass of the separate components multiplied by their individual velocities. This means that the soda's momentum which left the can was equal to the can's momentum. Although this is true, the can looked like it had no momentum. Since its velocity was in the direction of the ground, its force acted upon the ground, but the ground's mass is so large that it experienced zero acceleration.
Nice application of physics, though I did not quite get what you mean by "the velocity was in the direction of the ground." really cool pick with all the flying fizz.

ReplyDeletewho was singing karaoke?
ReplyDeleteI really like the picture. It was taken at the perfect time :]
ReplyDeleteI like how lawrence doesn't remember.
ReplyDeleteNice blog, that party was really fun and I didn't realize that the soda explosion could be applied to physics. Nice job.
Btw the jacuzzi was the best.
