why does popcorn seem to pop at a somewhat consistent rate regardless of the amount, instead of all of them popping closer to at the same time?
In: Physics
It’s been a long time since I’ve popped popcorn, but it seems to me that you get one, then a pause, then a second one, then more, then a long stretch where they’re popping fast enough that you can’t really tell, and then tapering off to longer and longer pauses between pops. So, a normal distribution (or close to it) with low deviation.
