I was watching a SciFi tv show where large objects had an outer speed limit of 18000 kph and that got me wondering what things in everyday life are faster than even 500 kph.

I know bullets can be fast, but they are not exactly everyday life (at least in my life).

I included mass for obvious relativistic reasons.

      I remember there being something misleading about the “temperature” in pV=nRT, but yeah, I think I was getting confused because I was thinking about it purely formulaicly.

      But if the pressure drops and the volume of the gas increases, in order for it to cool, that would mean the drop in pressure is much less significant than the rise in volume?

      But yeah, I should’ve remembered that expanding gasses cool, because I know how aerosol cans work. It’s time to touch up on this stuff lol.
