    Force
In summary, the conversation revolves around the question of how much force and momentum Spongebob would gain if he farted underwater. Some suggest that it would be a large amount, while others believe it would be insignificant due to Spongebob's small mass. The discussion also touches on the possibility of Spongebob floating if he was full of gas and whether this topic should be in a separate forum. Overall, the conversation is lighthearted and some speculate that it could be a homework problem.

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

[tex]F=\frac{\mbox{H}_2\mbox{O}}{\phi\,R\,t}[/tex]

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?

[tex]
\int\limits_{sponge}^{bob} {F(H_2 O) \bullet dx}
[/tex]

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?
 

FAQ: Spongebob Farting Underwater - What Happens Next?

What causes Spongebob to fart underwater?

The cause of Spongebob's farting underwater is likely due to the high levels of pressure, gas, and bubbles that are present in the underwater environment. These factors can lead to the release of gas from the digestive system, resulting in flatulence.

Does Spongebob's farting have any impact on the underwater ecosystem?

There is no evidence to suggest that Spongebob's farting has any significant impact on the underwater ecosystem. The amount of gas released is likely minimal and quickly dissolves into the surrounding water. Additionally, other marine life may also produce gas, so Spongebob's farts are likely just a small part of the overall ecosystem.

Can other underwater creatures smell Spongebob's farts?

It is possible that some underwater creatures may be able to smell Spongebob's farts, especially those with a sensitive sense of smell. However, the strong currents and constantly moving water may dilute the scent, making it difficult for other creatures to detect.

How does Spongebob's farting affect his buoyancy underwater?

Spongebob's farting may have a slight impact on his buoyancy, but it is likely minimal. The gas released from farting is quickly dispersed and dissolved in the surrounding water, so it would not significantly affect his weight or buoyancy. Additionally, Spongebob's body is made of a porous, spongy material, which may also help regulate his buoyancy.

Is Spongebob's farting a realistic representation of what would happen underwater?

While farting underwater is possible, the exaggerated sound effects and frequency of Spongebob's farts may not be entirely realistic. The amount of gas produced by a single individual would not be as noticeable and constant as portrayed in the show. However, the concept of farting underwater is based on real scientific principles and is not entirely fictional.
