The Attempt at a Solution


Freezing the soda can will makes the soda can contract, thus increasing the pressure of the soda. P=F/a.
However, as pressure had increase, to the air particles in the soda can will have more frequent collision and cause the bulging to reduce the increased pressure?

Am i on the right track?
Thx in advance for the input!~ :D

No, the can does not contract measurably. The water (soda) freezes, and ice is less dense than water (that's why ice cubes float). The ice takes up more volume than the unfrozen water did, forcing the can to bulge out.

BTW, questions like this would be more appropriate to the Intro Physics forum.
 
hi marcusl!,

thanks for the super prompt reply.
understood now.thanks! ;)

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
