The discussion centers on the hypothetical scenario of SpongeBob SquarePants farting underwater, exploring the resulting force and momentum. Participants express a range of opinions, with some humorously suggesting that the outcome is too complex to quantify, while others dismiss the topic as trivial, noting that Patrick would handle any mess. The conversation touches on the absurdity of applying physics to a cartoon character, with suggestions to move the topic to a more appropriate forum section. Some participants question the relevance of the discussion, suggesting it could be a homework problem, while others point out that SpongeBob's low mass would limit any significant increase in momentum. The debate highlights the playful nature of the forum and the blending of humor with scientific inquiry.

how much force and momentum would spongebob gain if he farted under water?!
1 - a number too big to even describe
2 - Who cares?! Patrick will clean the mess
3 - It;s just a cartoon, stop spamming the forum
 
Physics news on Phys.org
F=\frac{\mbox{H}_2\mbox{O}}{\phi\,R\,t}
 
I'm guessing he'll get stolen from burger king before anything happens, so the real question is, would he fart if somebody stole him from burger king?
 
<br /> \int\limits_{sponge}^{bob} {F(H_2 O) \bullet dx} <br />

That equation should help
 
I think this should be moved into the "Physics" Section of the forum, as here in GD we don't discuss such important topics.

I dunno, I think we should have a separate forum for stuff like this...perhaps "Fizziks".
 
Ya know, with how stupid and useless public school is getting... does anyone think this might have possibly been a homework problem?

Depends on what he had to eat.

Have you used the "poll" function yet...?
 
Actually I would think that spongebob's mass is too little for him to increase momentum by very much. Besides, sponges do not flatulate!

If spongebob was full of gas, wouldn't he float?
