After an explosion in air, the motion of fragments can vary depending on factors such as the force of the explosion, the mass and shape of the fragments, and air resistance. Generally, the fragments will be propelled in different directions with varying velocities. The larger and heavier fragments will typically travel shorter distances, while smaller and lighter fragments may be carried further by air currents.

How far can fragments travel from a 1-pounnd explosion?

It depends upon the size of the fragments. Very small fragments can be blown into the air and carried by air currents around the world.


How does a car engines motor work?

"Car" engines use controlled explosions (depending on how many cylinders) to convert straight line motion into rotating motion. The pistons in an engine (straight line motion) are driven downward due to the force created by the explosion of gasoline and air. The explosion is triggered by a spark caused by the spark plug. The force of the explosions are transmitted from the pistons to the connecting rods, then the crankshaft. (rotating motion) From there to the Transmission and finally, the Wheels.


Why does an explosion cause a loud noise?

Noise is a movement of the air. An explosion is a rapid expansion of gasses, which causes movement of the air.

What is the velocity of the second fragment immediately after the explosion?

At the instant it reaches an altitude of 1000 m and a speed of 300 m/s it explodes into three fragments. The 1st fragment has twice the mass of either the 2nd or 3rd fragments and continues to move upward with a speed of 200 m/s. The second fragment has a speed of 240 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion.


What is air motion rate?

Bulk air motion is called "wind speed". Motion of individual molecules in air is covered by temperature and the "kinetic theory of gases".
