qualitatively, you'll find the answer in middle school physics books. quantitatively, you'll need undergrad mechanics+fluid dynamics.

the substance you call booster in tt slang is VOC free and classed as food safe(there are some products for which this is not true though), anything short of dipping the VOC meter in a bottle of that stuff will pass the racket VOC test.

it means: on day 337 of the year 2400 you will recover financially from this purchase.
