What sound does hydrogen make if you hit it?

Hydrogen gas is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic, so it does not have a sound associated with it if you hit it. When hydrogen is ignited, it burns with a nearly invisible flame and produces a faint popping sound.


What would happen to nickel if you hit it with a hammer?

If you hit nickel with a hammer, it would deform and flatten rather than shattering like glass or some other materials. Nickel is a ductile metal, so it has the ability to deform and change shape under pressure without breaking.


Why do trees make a noises when its windy?

Trees make noise when it's windy due to the movement of their leaves and branches rubbing against each other creating a rustling sound. The sound becomes more pronounced in gusty winds as the movement of the branches intensifies.


What would happen if you droped a hammer and a feather on the Moon?

What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather on the earth and on the moon? The above experiment is supposed to prove the equivalence principle which states that the acceleration an object feels due to gravity does not depend on its mass, density, composition, colour or shape.Answer:If you drop a hammer and a feather from the same height on earth, the hammer will hit the ground first as the feather is slowed down drastically by air resistance.But on the moon, because it is a vacuum, and since the acceleration of an object is the same as the gravity i.e. a = g and the mass is not in the equation, all objects will have the same acceleration and hence the hammer should fall to the surface of moon at the same time as the feather but:"Both will hit the moon at the same time as believed by most scientists?"This may not be absolutely true since every object has its own gravity which is greater if its mass is greater. So the hammer has a gravity much greater than that of the feather. Therefore the combined gravity of the hammer and that of the moon (which pulls the hammer and moon towards each other) is greater than that of the feather and the moon.As such the hammer should collide with the moon marginally earlier than that between the feather and the moon, though this difference is so minute that we assume that the collisions occur simultaneously.However, if the hammer and feather are dropped together, then as the hammer's gravity pulls the moon towards itself, it also pull the moon towards the feather and as such the lucky feather may get a free ride and hits the moon at the same time as the hammer.To be fair, the experiment should be done dropping the objects individually e.g. feather first, then the hammer and then see whether the times taken are the same or not.All the above are valid only on the assumption that the centre of gravity is the part that hits the moon but since this is not necessarily true, we also have to take into account which part of the hammer or feather is nearest to the moon before the two objects were released (assuming that the centre of gravity of both objects are at the same level on release) !The real answer is that there is not enough data for us to know which will hit the moon first !The famous experiment by Astronaut Dave Scott on the moon is not very precise.Dr HW Looi


Does thunder hit houses?

Lightning can strike houses during a thunderstorm, but thunder itself is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. It is not the lightning strike itself, so thunder does not directly hit houses.

What sound would carbon make if you hit it with a hammer?

Carbon is an element and doesn't have a specific sound when hit with a hammer. The sound would depend on the physical state and structure of the carbon material being hit, such as graphite or diamond. Graphite might produce a dull thud, while diamond may produce a sharp, high-pitched sound.


Why does calcium deforms when hit by hammer?

Calcium deforms when hit by a hammer because it is a relatively soft metal compared to others. When force is applied, the atomic structure of calcium allows it to be easily bent or reshaped under pressure. This deformation can occur because calcium lacks the strength and rigidity of harder materials.


Describe the types of energy generated when you hit a nail with a hammer?

When you hit a nail with a hammer, mechanical energy is converted into sound energy, thermal energy (due to friction between the hammer and nail), and potential energy in the form of the nail being driven into the surface.
