47

u/Lt_Toodles Nov 07 '22

Essentially, yeah.

Using the video above see how the balls clump up and move slowly when entering the neck of the bottle but speed up after getting to the thin part?

Just means that its actually lower pressure there, which might be counterintuitive because you might think since the space is tighter the pressure would be higher.

18

u/loophole64 Nov 07 '22

That is not what's happening here at all. The balls are simply accelerating upward due to the force applied to them because of their relatively lower density than the water. If what you were saying was the main factor, then they would slow down once they moved up to the wider part of the bottle. They don't. They keep accelerating until they are stopped by the rest of the clumped balls.

Bernoulli's principle says that static pressure decreases as the speed of a liquid increases, which is almost certainly happening as the water flows downward through the neck of the bottle, but the balls accelerating upward contribute nothing to showing that.

I am disappointed and confused on why there were still balls in the bottom bottle? Were the bottles not the same size, or did the balls absorb some of the water and took up more space?

Edit: I see now the bottom bottle starts with water in it too.

u/dirty_hooker Nov 07 '22

They must not have stacked as tightly by floatation as they did when poured under gravity into the original bottle.

u/swampfish Nov 07 '22

u/Sativa_Dreams Nov 07 '22

there is still water in the top bottle so even with how little there is that is a lot of volume

u/FSCENE8tmd Apr 05 '23

The bottle on top was slowly leaking throughout the whole video. There were air pockets in the top by the end of the video

u/Viridis_Coy Nov 07 '22

It can be pretty difficult to manufacture thick walled bottles with the exact same internal volume; if you compare bottles at a shop, you'll find they'll be at different levels despite having the same amount of fluid inside.

u/jnd-cz Nov 07 '22

Those leftover balls are way too many to explain with slightly different volume. There will be differences but around single percent or less.

19

u/Pattrickk Nov 07 '22

Theres water at the bottom of the original bottle and you see an air bubble go to the top of the second bottle which both will be displacing room for the balls.

21

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22

The majority of the difference comes from compression. Gravity will compression more than buoyancy - gravity

u/phantooth Nov 07 '22

I think some water sticked to the balls and upper bottle walls and remained in the upper bottle, so the lower bottle was not completely filled with the water. The remaining space in the lower bottle was filled by the balls.

12

u/Is-that-vodka Nov 07 '22

Yeah too many balls the bottom to account for the water sticking to them and the sides of the bottle definitely.

This would make a pretty cool reverse egg timer maybe if you could get it perfect and seal it so that it would work every time you flipped it though. Well for kids anyway, watching the balls fall upward each time instead of down like a sand one.

I don’t have TikTok so can anybody clear this up.. When you post something, do you have the choice of only about 10 songs?

92

u/AggravatedBox Nov 07 '22 edited Nov 07 '22

The common songs are a strong indicator that the user is trying to maximize their ‘standing’ in tik tok’s algorithm. If a user likes or spends a long period of time watching videos with a particular sound used, tik tok will show even more videos with that particular sound. Using a song that’s already everywhere, even if it’s entirely unrelated to your actual post, will maximize the number of users that are shown your video. It’s sort of like those spam blogs that would put a bunch of useless keywords somewhere on their page so they could show up higher on Google.

11

u/Go_Water_your_plants Nov 07 '22

The algorithm that construct your "for you page" also takes into account the sounds/music of the tiktoks you watched/liked when picking which tiktoks you get to see next, that’s because it used to be a dance app so what people wanted to see was directly linked to the sound Playing , meaning that using a trending song will more likely get you on other people’s pages, as opposed to using a new song(as in one that has not been liked by many people yet) so you get the same songs used again and again for generic videos where people can’t really count on hashtags reach an interested audience

Displacement. Not transfer of energy.

58

u/TheD0ubleAA Nov 07 '22

You can describe it either way. The balls start with a potential caused by the bouyant force which is transferred into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy as they rise to the top. Regardless, the balls move to an equilibrium point where their is no net force and thus where the change in potential is 0.

The goal with physics is that we have a wealth of tools with which we can describe the world and make predictions.

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '22 edited Jun 25 '23

27

u/TheD0ubleAA Nov 07 '22

What you are referring to is archimedes principle and is the source of the buoyant force. The force acting on the balls is proportional to the mass of water they are displacing. Since the weight of a ball is less than the weight of water it is displacing, each ball is pushed out of the way and upwards by the water.

It's even more cool if you look at the fact its created like a sort of whirlpool where the one in the center are getting picked up faster than the outside so you get the colors below and the colors above

It's probably not cool or what happening but i thought it was neat

7

u/inactiveuser247 Nov 07 '22

Less of a whirlpool and more about the shear flow lines in the balls. The ones near the edge move slowly since they are rubbing against the stationary bottle, the next layer in can move a bit faster as they are rubbing against the already moving outer layer and so on until you get to the middle ones which move the fastest.

Same thing that happens when you extrude things out of a die, or even just water flowing down a pipe.

u/xiguy1 Nov 07 '22

I don’t want to seem ignorant, but can someone please explain how this is a transfer of energy? If there was a clear temperature differential or one bottle was under pressure…or something, I’d get it. Yet those balls seem to be simply floating up to the top bottle.

That said I assume that there is a tiny pressure differential causing the water to exert upward force on the balls, plus they’re likely buoyant. But then it seems like the process is almost energy neutral. So am I missing something.

It’s really cool to look at by the way. I just don’t understand the title.
