A2 Lead is about the least sonorous metal. At earthquake frequencies, it is used to absorb huge quantities of energy. The lead-rubber bearing, consisting of alternate plates of rubber and steel, and with a core of lead, is nowadays used commonly to isolate buildings and bridges from earthquake effects.
Less known are lead extrusion dampers - like giant bicycle pumps, which pump lead from one end to the other. These rely on the fact that lead re-forms almost instantaneously to its crystal form. Both were invented by a New Zealander, W H Robinson.

∙ 14y agoMetals don't absorb force nearly as well as they transmit it. (Case in point: Newton's cradle, that science toy composed of five or more clacking balls).
That being said, osmium (as the densest element, and also the densest metal) would be able to absorb the most force.
Keep in mind, however, that in terms of car crashes, it's not the metal itself that absorbs the force of the impact, but rather the way it disperses energy by collapsing and bending around the driver.

Does vaporization absorb or release energy?
Vaporization absorb energy.
Name the pigment which can absorb solar energy?
Chloroplasts the pigment which can absorb solar energy.
Does the Calvin cycle release or absorb energy?
ABSORB
Does chloroplast absorb energy and manufacture it?
Chloroplast do not produce energy.They absorb energy of sun light.
What are reactions that absorb energy from the environment?
Reactions that absorb energy from the environment are referred as endothermic reactions.
Can metal absorb solar energy?
I suggest you place a piece of metal in the sunlight. If it gets warm or hot, that means that yes, it absorbed at least part of the incoming energy.
Why is a metal plate used in heat sinks?
because metal is a good conductor of energy (there are a lot of free electrons in a metal) and this will cause the metal to absorb and radiate more energy combined with the increased surface area of the heat sink
Why does solar pannel have black metal?
the main purpose of the black metal is to absorb u.v rays from the sun that are used by solar's to generate energy.
Why does a metal bat hit farther than a wood bat?
Wooden bat absorb more energy than metal bat during the contact with object.
How do springs in a car absorb energy?
A spring absorbs energy by increasing tension when distorted and returning the energy as the tension is released. Most metal springs store energy by twisting a metal bar. The bar may be a tiny wire or a foot thick piece of metal. A coil spring is just the bar set into a coil.
What is the plant molecules that absorb energy?
chloroplast's absorb light energy
Does vaporization absorb or release energy?
Vaporization absorb energy.
Name the pigment which can absorb solar energy?
Chloroplasts the pigment which can absorb solar energy.
Does the Calvin cycle release or absorb energy?
ABSORB
Can chemical reactions absorb energy?
yes they do,the reactions which absorb energy are called endothermic reaction.
Does chloroplast absorb energy and manufacture it?
Chloroplast do not produce energy.They absorb energy of sun light.
