I am curious, last night we had a discussion about the “what if”.
Maybe someone on this board can answer.
Here is the scenario. In a spaceship you have 2 balloons.
One is fill with a liquid, connected to a a liquid tank with a tube and inserted into another, that is fill with air.
As you increase the pressure of liquid [through a tube that is connected to the liquid fill balloon] you increase the air pressure in the other balloon.
You keep both of them at even pressure.
It would be assume the liquid fill balloon would keep its original dimension and the air balloon would expend.
At the moment the air balloon burst, and without the constrain of gravity, the liquid fill balloon would immediately expand, and in this scenario, would burst open [cheap balloon, no elasticity]
Now here is my question, do you think the liquid would?
a- immediately reach its maximum speed then slow down
b- increase its speed until it reach a maximum, then slow down
Believe it or not, me and my girls are having this type of conversation at the dinner table.
Hopefully someone out there knows the answer and will settle this argument.
Thanks in advance
