If a potato travels at 1000mph, will it bake?

i dont think a potato has enough mass to reach 1000 mph

its terminal velocity is probably well below that

put it this way

mach 1 is 761 mph

mach 2 is 1522 mph (well above the speed tc said)

now some jets are known to fly faster than mach 2 (just throwing this out for reference)

if a jet was flying past mach 1 (761mph) trying to go into mach 2 (1522mph) and the pilot released a potato in between (around 1000mph), for the lulz, do you think it would bake?

i really dont think so tbh

Unlikely, since the friction heat would all be on the leading surface of the... uh... potato?xaos

Okay, how about this scenario.

We wrap the potato in multiple layers of aluminum foil (must be premium brand, I'm thinking Reynolds). Second, we cover each side of the potato with one of those heat protecting tiles they put on the space shuttle. Launch it from high orbit, and as long as it doesn'tdisintegrate coming through, the friction heat should thoroughly bake the potato. It'll probably go quite a bit faster than 1000 mph however. I say we organize a scientific team to test this theory at once! I base all this on absolutely nothing.

Chuck Norris once threw a potato 1000 mph and it burn up in the sun.
