The project will evaluate the differences in amplitude of the carbonation release of a full bottle of pop. The plot spectrums will be diplayed and curves will be drawn to investigate if there are differences in amplitude from an assortment of different pops. These will include Mt. Dew, Sierra Mist, and Pepsi. Along with this experiment, I will use mathematical tools to explain the action of gas releasing from the bottle. Excel will be one of my biggest tools. I have always enjoyed math and believe strongly in its every day use. This will be a very unorthodox use of math to explain the gaseous sound.
Abstract: For this paper, I will be experimenting to see whether there is a difference in amplitude between Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Sierra Mist. For the experiment, I used Audacity to record the sound that the gas release makes when the bottle is opened I found that there was very little differences because I investigated the pop’s waveform, plot spectrum, and amplitude of the plot spectrum at Octave frequencies. To further my investigation, I used mathematical tools to graph what the gas release’s rate of change would be.
