The creator uses a supersonic baseball cannon to fire baseballs at silly putty, a gong, and a mirror, tracking velocity versus pressure data.
From the video
Answers: What happens when a baseball is fired at supersonic speeds from a cannon?
- supersonic baseball cannon
- non-Newtonian fluid impact
- gong impact at supersonic speed
- mirror reflection physics with high speed cameras
What it concludes
- Silly putty behaves like a solid when hit rapidly by a baseball fired from the supersonic cannon.
- A supersonic baseball fired at a metal gong creates a shockwave that redirects the ball and shatters the gong.
- Firing a baseball through a mirror setup demonstrates complex optical alignment and reflection mechanics at supersonic speeds.
