  • Why does shaken soda explode? Does ice melt first in fresh or salt water?

    This video features experiments that have been shown to me by science teachers over the years. Does ice melt fast in salt water or fresh water was an experiment introduced to me at the Utah Science Teachers' conference. The ring of metal over a chain demo came from a teachers event in Florida. The idea shaking a carbonated drink increases pressure came from an email.
    Special thanks to Petr Lebedev for building the pressure gauge.

    The closest supermarket from where I live is 500 meters (roughly) and it takes me 12 minutes to walk there and back at a walking speed of 5 kph (3 mph). The problem is it has taken my father 18 years to make this trip and I want to know how this strange phenomenon has occurred.

    I was at a place where people were selling all kinds of puzzles and things and one that they were demonstrating was the ring and chain. The guy said he would give it to me for free if I could get it to stick on my first try. So instead of just going for it, I looked it over and thought for a second and pictured in my head what I needed to do to get it to stay. So I dropped it correctly and it stuck and the look of shock on the guys face was better than a free puzzle.

    very interesting video
    but i have to say one thing about the carbonated drink
    normally (at least in austria) if you buy a bottle with a carbonated drink in it and you shake it, the bottle will be harder to compress, which means that the pressure increases
    however we all know that it doesnt get harder to compress anymore after a sometime of shaking or just standing somewhere
    so if you ask if the pressure will increase, the answer to this question can be different, based on some variables

    • @rojirrim7298
      @rojirrim7298 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      @Daniel Kintigh Not about beating anybody :) just about letting people know. Since rapid cameras record high frame rates only to lower them at editing, they're effectively slowing time. Sound are air vibrations, and pitch is a sense of the frequency of those vibrations. By "slowing time" 10 times, all sounds reduce their frequency by a factor of 10, and so many audible noises would become infrasounds, and other high pitch sounds would become very low. Weird stuff, but it's cool to see how people came up with the idea of editing audio and make it sound Slo-Mo like

    Similar to the ring latching on the chain, an inverse kind of trick is to pull off any elastic from a large number of them looped around the same stick. Pull on your chosen one away from the stick, then pull the loop over the top of the stick and you will liberate only your chosen elastic while leaving the others on the stick, (instead of having to pull off all the ones above it or something equally messy).

    No. 3 is depending on length and weight of the chain, distance between the chain strands and also on weight and rotation speed of the ring.
    The more you increase the length of the chain, increase the weight of the chain, reduce the distance between the chain strands, reduce the weight of the ring or decrease the rotation speed of the ring the more unlikely it becomes to achieve the same result.

    • @knotten33
      @knotten33 2 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      Try thinking of it in it's reverse. If you take the chain (which is a enclosed loop) and thread it through the ring so you have two equal lenghts of chain with the ring hanging in the middle, you then take one of the sides of the chain and loop it through the other side of your chain. As long as you pull on the side that you looped through your chain, the knot will stay tightened.
      4:15 is the same thing but with the ring going through the chain and it's just a bit flashier because instead of you doing the loop by hand, gravity, inertia and the geometry of the ring is doing all the work for you.

    7:20 For the right-hand side: the exact same thing happens if you have ever watched forest fires.
    The fire starts small and slowly expands, with hot air being pushed in all directions (essentially pushing away oxygen). Once the fire gets hot and large something just snaps and all heat forces the spent and hot air upwards and laterally sucks in cooler oxygenated air. This then perpetuates itself and becomes a 'stable' flow.
