Honestly, I’m watching a war movie and a dude got hit by an IED. It got me thinking though, and I don’t quite get what is the lethal factor in an explosion?
There always seems to be fire in the movies, and it’s clearly a lot of force. But my question is what ACTUALLY happens to (I guess anything) that gets hit by a large bomb/explosion from a play by play/physics situation?
I feel like this is kinda dark, but I just had one of those curious moments and felt like this was the appropriate place to ask
In: Physics
An explosion can make you get pushed very fast. Imagine those hydraulic presses on youtube, but very fast and made of hot air. It squeezes you, depending on the strength and distance, aside from all the flying pieces of metal that also work like stray bullets.
