When we're out in the bars and people want to be funny (or annoying) people use the bottom of their beer bottle to tap the top of someone else's bottle. This makes the victim's beer fuzz up and overflow. Can you tell me the science behind this please?

This is similar to a question we had a few weeks ago when we were asked why it is that when a can of fizzy drink falls out of the dispenser, it doesn't explode when you open it. We discussed it and thought that when the can falls, it tends to spin. It lands on its side with the liquid spinning in a circle inside the can rather than striking the top of the can. Because the inside of the can is very smooth, the fluid doesn't come into contact with many rough surfaces and so there is nowhere for the gas to nucleate and form tiny bubbles. What could be going on in the beer bottle is that once the bottle is open, there is no pressure inside. The gas dissolved in the beer wants to come out as bobbles. If you smash the top of the bottle with another bottle, it makes a shock wave and I think that that would be sufficient to start some nucleation inside the drink. Once you have one bubble, it provides a site for other bubbles to form on. The whole thing feeds back on itself. As the bottle has a narrow neck, as soon as you have some bubbles it fills up and suddenly doesn't have anywhere to expand to. This pushes everything out in a massive volcano.

4) We're going to test the same hypothesis four ways. Assume the people in the dataset in armspanSpring2020.csv are a random sample of all adults. For each test, report the test statistic and the p-value. With a 5% significance level, give the conclusion of each test. a) Test the hypothesis that the mean difference between armspan and height it not equal to 0, using the data in armspanSpring2020.csv. Do this by creating a new variable named diff = (armspan -...

One of the topics we're focusing on this week is the Principal-Agent problem, or how when you hire someone to work for you (such as an owner hiring a manager or a manager hiring an employee) the incentives of the agent are often not the same as the principal, which may cause them to "misbehave" or "cheat" the system. For your first post in this discussion, think of and share an example of when you saw or experienced something like...

This is for my finance class and I am a bit stuck. We're asked to use the Delta hedging formula (i.e. how much stock to hold) for the multiperiod binomial model to confirm that a financial derivative paying the stock price at time t=N (i.e. V_N = S_N) must be priced with V_0 = S_0 today.

1. In protein salting out experiment, we're told to separate globulin and albumin from protein solution by centrifuge. What causes the difference of extent of centrifuge speed and solubility in water between globulin and albumin?2. Why for any protein, the extent of precipitation and the fluidity are different in several organic solvent(including water, acetone, and ethanol.)?3. Why adding more HCL will increase the extent of precipitation for any protein in different organic solvent?
