| If you fire a pistol into a closed, empty plastic mineral water bottle, two holes will form in it. If this bottle is filled with water, then after the shot the bottle will scatter into small pieces (even if it has not been closed). Explain this phenomenon.
The pressure exerted on a liquid or gas is transmitted in all directions equally. But liquid, unlike gas, is practically not compressed, so the bottle scatters.
