| Why does a bullet in a plastic glass of water puncture only two holes, and falling into a glass of water of the same volume, breaks it to smithereens?
A bullet, falling into a glass of water, exerts pressure on it, which, according to Pascal’s law, is transmitted to each point in the volume of water in this glass and to the walls of the glass. A plastic cup is deformed, but a glass cup cannot be deformed and is destroyed.
