      It doesn't actually need to be deadly; it just needs to match the resonance frequency of the shell, and cause the structure of the shell to fail catastrophically.

    Don't mind this comment, not that important, might break the theory universe... But, for those who don't know, getting a Super Horn is the luckiest item you can get while in first place. I've discovered that the Horn can send away everything near you. EVERYTHING. Including the deadly blue shell. Now, knowing that, try to calculate just how loud that horn would have to be to nullify the force of the Blue Shell

    MatPat, did you know my AP Physics tests are tomorrow?? Thank you so much for making this video when you did lol. Also, p is used for momentum because mass owns the m and the synonym impetus (the word Newton used for momentum) comes from the Latin word pellere (meaning push), giving us our p. And the J for impulse is just convention because moment of inertia already owns the I and J looks similar enough to the I; however, my physics teacher did use I for both, so pick your preference. Hope this was helpful for all my fellow AP Physics students whose death day is tomorrow. Good luck, everyone!

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Shredder3931 Well, it delivers more than 21,000 N, since that is exactly the force the shell would use not at an angle.

    • @metallicaspiker16
      @metallicaspiker16 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Angel Mendez-Rivera I really think MatPat should do a theory on this. It’d be pretty interesting to see since sounds that destructive can’t be good for anyone on the track.

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Shredder3931 Well, you're right.... it isn't good for anyone. Notice that the Super Horn doesn't only vanish the Blue Shell, it pushes players away from you and off the track with a whopping accelerations. So even if we could disregard the 21,000 N estimate, it still is incredibly destructive.
      But then again, one would have to account for the fact that absolutely no one in Mario Kart is human, and they come from planets where the living conditions are hundreds of time harshers. Not to mention, let's be real: these suckers survived the resetting of the universe itself by the hands of Rosalina. So I really doubt 21,000 N of force would actually cause any damage to *them* even if was devastating in our planet. We are talking about Mario, who in Mario 64 could jump into the lava and get away with nothing but mild burns in the butt. If anything, I don't think we have to worry about them. What we have to worry about is *the cars.* That's what I want to see a theory on: what are these cars actually genuinely made of? Why can they resist these collisions?

    TE=(1/2mv^2)+(mc^2)
    Great video MatPat! My only problem with it is that you're ignoring one thing: once the blue shell hits the cart it is turned completely into energy, which can be seen from the absence of the shell before and after the collision. (Just a note: the energy seems to be dissipated in the from of electromagnetic waves, based on the omitted blue light). Taking this into account wouldn't the energy be much higher because the total energy of the shell would be TE=(1/2mv^2)+(mc^2), where m is the mass of the shell and v is its velocity. Even if the shell is only one kilogram (I sadly couldn't find a value for it's acceleration to use F=ma to find its mass), and based on its size it appears to be more (even though I'm not taking density into account) than one kilogram, simply by E=mc^2 alone it would have to release and energy of 9X10^16 J, which is roughly 5x10^9 times larger than the value you calculated. Therefore, the ramifications would be immense for the race and all of the mushroom kingdom. Using the explosion calculator and assuming a weight of one kilogram and negligible kinetic energy, the explosion is 2.15x10^13 grams of TNT and would be fatal to a distance of 3km, with damages to structures reaching 72km. In total, a low end assumption would mean the death of not just the player in first, but possibly the entire field, with damage to structures 45 miles away, lung damage 3 miles away, and ruptured ear drums 7.5 miles away. Just thought i'd let you know.

      Thats assuming you can efficiently transfer 100% mass into energy when chemical explosions only transfer at about 1x10^-9 efficiency. I like to think it becomes part of the mass of the road since such a high energy blast would knock them a little farther than we see in game

    So, another question to theorize is presented. Since you can use a speaker item to blow away the blue shell, or use a mushroom to speed out of the way if timed correctly, how much force would the speaker need, and how devastating is the impact of such a speaker when used? Or how much of a boost does the mushrooms give to that top speed that it lets you avoid such an explosion or impact of the blue shell?
