What kills you when you get an electric shock?
electric current through your nerves and/or muscles, especially through your heart
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?
when you get zapped in the supermarket by your trolley it sends a little bit of energy through the metal in the trolley to your body, and if you get shocked by lightning you get a big shock of energy. but with a metal door handle it is exactly like the shopping trolley and it will send a shock of energy through the metal to your body. i hope this helped as i am only 13 :)
The waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves. Body waves consist of P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) and S-waves (shear or transverse waves). P-waves can go through solid, liquid, and gas forms but S waves can only travel through solids. The P waves reach seismic stations quicker than S waves as they travel at a greater speed. Surface waves travel more slowly than Body waves and there are two main types: The Rayleigh and Love wave.
What is an after shock?
a after shock is what happens after a earthquake
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 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 is an example of compression?
2 examples of compression are a child's pogo stick and a cars shock absorber .

What does the propagation of sound waves in a gas involve?
Compression waves, like a shock front.
How is pressure transmitted in a fluid?
Pressure is transmitted through liquids in the form of longitudinal waves of partial compression. In extreme cases, this takes the form of a shock front that pushes the liquid in front of it as energy propagates in the direction of the shock front's motion.
What shock absorber motion controls the least amount of weight compression or rebound?
Rebound.
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.
What is shock waves in fluid mechanics?
The speed of sound is constant in solids, liquids and gases. If something happens in such a medium the mechanical energy of it can propagate only at the speed of sound. If something is traveling through the medium faster than the speed of sound then it is pumping energy into a wave that contains more energy than what the simple passage of the object contains. This is the sonic boom hear by passing jet aircraft.
