For those wondering ‘Well, There’s your problem’ series are a compilation of existing clips. That’s why it’s marked as S1 EP3.

in WW2 the Germans issued a curved rifle and machine gun. The barrels did not last very long. The Allies trialled the same but I am not aware of any getting into service.

43:19 The bullets don't have to be fired and dropped at the same time. They can be timed independently. Doing them simultaneously just makes it more challenging and entertaining. Edit: Also, there are probably some aerodynamic forces on the fired bullet that cause the slight delay in reaching the ground. If it were possible, this experiment should be tried in a vacuum.

"This building is built up to code", not sure how they dubbed this in German but I remember as a kid I always thought "Wow those small explosions can destroy houses" ...but then I learned that American building standards are just a joke :P

@iamalive82 Ай бұрын

I’m interested to know the difference, so are studs and joists placed more closely in Germany?

@fearzila Ай бұрын

That, higher materials standards and there's a lot more brick/stone construction

@iamalive82 Ай бұрын

Well, where I live near Chicago the codes are very different from only a few miles away so it’s far from uniform across the fruited plain, not to mention the seismic activity of the west coast discouraging masonry construction. It’s sort of like saying because building standards I disapprove of are in Albania, I blame the EU.

@@iamalive82 Well my (maybe bad) joking aside, obviously there are different styles of buildings in the US as well, city appartement blocks, bank buildings etc. and differences between states depending on the environment and stuff but as far as the "california building code" the mythbusters used goes, that's how we'd construct garden huts but not houses. A house here is in most cases cinderblock walls with isolation on the outside and drywall or plywood on the inside, or it's isolation between two rows of cinderblocks. walls between rooms can be simpler wood studs, isolation and plywood or drywall on top or it's more cinderblock walls

One problem I have with the bullet dropped scenario is the curvature of the Earth. If they fired a bullet out of a sniper rifle, shouldn't it hit the ground after a dropped bullet?

@TBMartin Ай бұрын

The last myth "Does a dropped bullet hit the ground the same time as a fired one" always bugs me because it's plain to see that the dropped bullet hits the ground BEFORE the fired bullet but they still claim that both hit the floor at the same time. Physics dictate that the dropped bullet hits the groud first because it has far less distance to travel plus there is no other force pushing it in any direction unlike the fired bullet.

@RB-bd5tz Ай бұрын

If they start from exactly the same height, they have the same vertical distance to travel, which is all that matters. However, even though the bullet doesn't have wings, there must still be some aerodynamic forces on it that may account for the different drop times. This experiment would ideally be done in a vacuum.

@TBMartin Ай бұрын

@@RB-bd5tz If this experiment was done in a vacuum, it wouldn't be a real life test. A dropped bullet has one force, gravity. A fired bullet has two forces, forward trajectory and gravity. That forward motion has to dissipate enough to allow gravity to kick in and take over. So a dropped bullet falls to the ground quicker than a fired bullet. Another way would be to think of cannon fire. A misfire and the ball drops out of the cannon as soon as it leaves the cannon. A non misfire and that ball travels at speed along the same line until that force gets weaker and gravity gets stronger

@TBMartin Ай бұрын

@allanshpeley4284 Ай бұрын

@@TBMartin Why would the energy of a fired bullet dissipate in the horizontal axis?

@d4slaimless Ай бұрын

@@TBMartin they are not firing bullet up. Gun is parallel to the ground. As Adam pointed out, bullet has no wings. So what has forward motion to do with force of gravity? You can consider velocity of the bullet having two components: forward motion and downward motion. Gravity is responsible for downward motion and it affects the bullet all the time, even when it is laying inside the gun. Once the bullet leaves the gun it starts moving forward and downward at the same time. Unless you fire it straight up or at an upward angle. As for your example with the ball - if you throw the ball up at some point it is going to stop moving up (obviously). And then it's fall from the height it reached would take the same amount of time as if you just dropped it from this height. Unless bullet shot at an upward angle it is going to fall more or less at the same time as a dropped bullet. Airplane effect for the bullet is negligible, but might account for slight difference in fall time.

They should have saved the processed sugars into sugar+fertiliser boom goop, (thx youtube) for the Breaking Bad episode so that real chemists could actually go through a more interesting range of sugary foods to test potential extraction efficacy.

@motelghost477 Ай бұрын

Outdoors the bullet fired should hit the ground a fraction of a second AFTER the dropped bullet because of earth's curvature, as the fired bullet travels, earth will curve away from it by a few millimeters.

@TBMartin Ай бұрын

Indoors or outdoors, it doesn't matter because the earth's curvature doesn't stop just because you are inside.

why even gummy bears? its the sugar that's the fuel, just take that and mix with an oxidizer and voila, rocket fuel. Or even better take coal powder, then it gets black like some kind of black powder or something 🤔
