Yesterday I was threatened with a bomb by Moriarty, a
criminal mastermind who dislikes Sherlock and I. At one point, we reached
a standoff with Moriarty, in which a bomb vest lay between Sherlock and I and
Moriarty, and snipers had trained their guns on Sherlock and I at Moriarty's
request. Sherlock had a gun pointed at the bomb vest, ready to blow it
up. If he had blown up the vest, which weighed about 2.267 kg, it would
have exploded apart into a hundred pieces. The momentum of the entire
thing would be conserved because 0 = m1v1 + m2v2
Assuming for the purposes of this equation, the bomb would explode
into four parts, all equal in size and velocity, then m1 =0.56675, m2
= 0.56675, m3=0.56675, and m4=0.56675, and they were all
traveling in different directions, then the momentum would cancel out and it
would equal zero.
cool! were you scared?
