AI Thread Summary
Using a spoon with a hole in water can create bubbles, indicating that air may be entering the water. The discussion highlights that agitation, such as stirring, can release dissolved gases, similar to shaking a soda can. There is a suggestion that the pressure reduction caused by dragging an object through water could also draw air into the liquid. The conversation emphasizes the need for further clarification or demonstration, such as posting a video, to better understand the phenomenon. Overall, the interaction between air and water during agitation is a key focus of the discussion.

Hi,

If i use a spoon with a hole in it in a cup of water, bubbles emerge. Does that mean that air got in?

Regards,

Justin

Water can contain disolved oxygen so could just be that. You haven't really given us much info.

Isnt that impossible? Simply mixing something in water does not bring chemical reactions into place. Also not putting oxygen together. Or do you mean water with bubbles?

I mean normal water at the kitchen sink.
 
Agitation (eg stirring) is a good way to release disolved gasses. Try shaking a can of soda before opening it.

Ok, if there is reaction to agitation, this is chemical. I try to see how 'big' bubbles come into existence by say stirring with a kind of stick.
 
Cavitation?

Edit: Perhaps I'd better explain... When an object is dragged through water you can get a pressure reduction behind the object. This can cause air to be dragged down into the water.

If not that then I suggest you post a video.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
