AI Thread Summary
Making ice cream involves external conditions, such as temperature and the addition of salt, which transform simple ingredients into a final product. This process can be likened to evolution, where environmental factors influence the development and adaptation of living organisms. Just as ice cream requires specific conditions to form, evolution relies on external pressures that affect genetic variations. The discussion highlights the parallel between the transformation of ingredients in ice cream and the changes in organisms over time due to environmental influences. Understanding these connections can provide insight into both culinary and biological processes.

Oh hello
This's just strange. We did a small project "Making ice-cream" You know, put milk and sugar and vanilla into a zimploc, place the pack into a bigger one stuffed with ice and salt. We've luckily gone through the questions he asked. But the last question just doesn't make sense to me: "Describe how making ice cream is similar to evolution" My friend and I think about the temparature around the small pack and stuff. But it doesn't seem to work.
Please help me with this strange question. Or please give me a clue.
Thanks

External conditions turn milk, sugar and vanilla into ice cream. Similar to external conditions turning individual minerals into living organisms; also similar to external conditions affecting genes in living organisms so they mutate.

That's the only answer I can think of right now.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
