About

Slaps Chicken at 3725.95 MPH refers to an idea that the heat generated by hitting a chicken with a hand at 3725.95 miles per hour, or 1665.65 m/s, would be enough to completely cook it. Using the conversion between kinetic energy and thermal energy, a Facebook user came up with the theory, leading to the creation of memes in various templates about it.

Origin

On February 14th, 2019, Reddit user MrWaterplant^[1] posted a question to /r/NoStupidQuestions reading "If kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, how hard to I have to slap a chicken to cook it?" On February 17th, Facebook user Parker Ormonde^[2] posted a screenshot of himself responding to the question, showing his formula to calculate that a human would have to slap a chicken at 3725.95 MPH to cook it. The post gained over 37,000 reactions and over 167,000 shares (shown below).

r/NoStupidQuestions Posted by u/MrWaterplant 13h If kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, how hard to I have to slap a chicken to cook it? Learning Discussion Share Parker Ormonde As your friendly neighborhood physics major, I decided to calculate this with a few assumptions. The formula for converting between kinetic energy and thermal energy is 1/2mv2-mcT The average human hand weighs about 0.4kg, the average slap has a velocity of 11m/s (25mph), an average rotisserie chicken weighs 1kg (2lbs), has a specific heat capacity of 2720 J/kg*c, and let's assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked. The chicken will start off frozen, so 0C (32F) 1 average slap would generate a temperature increase of 0.0089 degrees Celsius. It would take 23,034 average slaps to cook the chicken. To cook the chicken in one slap, you would have to slap it with a velocity of 1665.65 m/s or 3725.95 mph Just now Like Reply

After spreading on Facebook, the post inspired memes on multiple different sites. On iFunny,^[3] a meme about the theory using the Slaps Roof of Car template gained over 47,000 likes (shown below, left). On /r/memes,^[4] a Prequel Meme about the post gained over 23,000 points (shown below, right).

Other posts on Reddit joked about the original question. For example, on /r/dankmemes, user Herripotter^[6] posted a Skyrim Skill Tree parody of the question, gaining over 12,000 points (shown below, left). Meanwhile, on Facebook, Ormonde posted multiple examples shared by other users about the fact. For example, he shared a post by Michael Wolfe^[5] using a Shaggy's Power meme that gained over 5,800 shares (shown below, right).

1921Thermodynamics EXAMPLE 4-13 Temperature Rise due to Slapping If you ever slapped someone or got slapped yourself, you probably remember the burning sensation. Imagine you had the unfortunate occasion of being slapped by an angry person, which caused the temperature of the affected area of your face to rise by 1.8°C (ouch!). Assuming the slapping hand has a mass of 1.2 kg and about 0.150 kg of the tissue on the face and the hand is affected by the incident, estimate the velocity of the hand just before impact. Take the specific heat of the tissue to be 3.8 kJ/kg °C Solution The face of a person is slapped. For the specified temperature rise of the affected part, the impact velocity of the hand is to be determined Assumptions 1 The hand is brought to a complete stop after the impact 2 The face takes the blow without significant movement. 3 No heat is trans- ferred from the affected area to the surroundings, and thus the process is adiabatic. 4 No work is done on or by the system. 5 The potential energy change is zero, ΔΡΕ 0 and ΔΕ-Δυ + AKE. Analysis We analyze this incident in a professional manner without involving any emotions. First, we identify the system, draw a sketch of it, and state our observations about the specifics of the problem. We take the hand and the affected portion of the face as the system (Fig. 4-36). This is a closed system since it involves a fixed amount of mass (no mass transfer). We observe that the kinetic energy of the hand decreases during the process, as evidenced by a decrease in velocity from initial value to zero, while the inter nal energy of the affected area increases, as evidenced by an increase in the temperature. There seems to be no significant energy transfer between the sys- tem and its surroundings during this process Under the stated assumptions and observations, the energy balance on the system can be expressed as En-E AE system FIGURE 4-36 Schematic for Example 4-13 out Net energy transfer by heat, work, and mass Change in internal, kinetic, potential, etc., energies 0-A Uaffected tissue + AKEhand 0-(mcAT)[m(0 V2)/2hand affected tissue That is, the decrease in the kinetic energy of the hand must be equal to the increase in the internal energy of the affected area. Solving for the velocity and substituting the given quantities, the impact velocity of the hand is determined to be (mcAT affected tissue hand hand 2(0.15 kg) (3.8 kJ/kg °C) (1.8°C) 1000 m2/s 1.2 k 1 kJ/kg 41.4 m/s (or 149 km/h) Discussion Reconstruction of events such as this by making appropriate assumptions are commonly used in forensic engineering
