BatmancerI wonder what ever happened to that mantle that got shot up by a nuclear explosion.
Anything that wasn’t vaporized was likely launched out into space at speeds exceeding escape velocity for Earth’s gravitational field by a factor of 6. So if there was anything left after the explosion and wind friction, it’s out in space, probably moving towards the sun.
The high speed camera was intended to be used to calculate the speed of the cap. It was going so fast it was only captured in 1 frame, which is only enough information to put a lower limit on the speed.
renegadesporkHow do you calculate speed at all with only one frame?
Distance between not moving and gone compiled against recording timestamp and detonation.
It’s, not very accurate. But you do get a lower bound.
