What are the vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake?
Vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake are called seismic waves. There are three main types: P waves (primary waves) are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S waves (secondary waves) are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are slower but cause the most damage as they travel along the Earth's surface.
How does thunder make huge noises and sounds?
Thunder is created when lightning heats up the air around it quickly, causing the air to expand rapidly and create a shock wave. This shock wave is what we hear as thunder, which can sound loud and booming due to the rapid expansion and compression of the air.
What are the characteristics of a P-Wave and S-Wave?
P-waves are also known as seismic waves. One of the characteristics of P-waves are a that they can travel through a continuum made up of gases, liquids and solids such as the Earth. Another characteristic of P-waves are that they can shake the ground in the same direction in which the wave is moving and it can also shake the earth in the opposite direction of the moving wave.
How is the shock you receive from a doorknob like lighting?
Both the shock from a doorknob and lightning involve the movement of electrical charge. When you touch a doorknob, static electricity built up on your body is discharged through the path of least resistance. Lightning occurs when positive and negative charges in the atmosphere connect, resulting in a high voltage discharge.
What kills you when you get an electric shock?
An electric shock can stop the heart or interfere with the normal electrical signals in the body, leading to cardiac arrest. It can also cause burns or tissue damage, which can be life-threatening if severe. Additionally, the current can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system and vital organs, potentially resulting in death.
What are the mediums that waves can travel through?
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.
What type of medium can a compression shock wave be transmitted through?
Compression shock waves can be transmitted through various mediums such as air, water, solids like metal, and biological tissues. The speed and efficiency of transmission may vary depending on the properties of the medium being traversed.
What is an example of compression in science?
Generally applies to gases, reducing the volume by doing work on the gas raises its pressure. Elastic solids can be compressed, but liquids are usually not compressible.

What shock absorber motion controls the least amount of weight compression or rebound?
Rebound.
What waves transfer energy in powerful shock waves?
In powerful shock waves, energy is mainly transferred through compressional waves, also known as longitudinal waves. These waves propagate by causing the particles of the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave. This rapid compression and decompression of the medium result in the transfer of energy in the form of a shock wave.
What is speed of heat?
132.703 KPH
Explain the action of the conventional shock absorb on both compression and rebound strokes?
During the compression stroke, the shock absorber compresses, absorbing the kinetic energy from the impact. This process helps to slow down the movement of the suspension system, reducing the force transmitted to the vehicle body. On the rebound stroke, the shock absorber extends, releasing the stored energy from the compression stroke gradually, allowing the suspension to return to its original position smoothly.
Where can you get shock absorptive strong rubber?
Actually, rubber is not a good shock absorber, for it is an elastic material and does not store or dissipate much energy. Air or other gas is the useful principle in car shock absorbers, where the lossy characteristics of air compression are used to absorb energy. Forcing oil through a small hole is also used for the same purpose.
