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.


Is there a difference between a DC shock and a AC shock?

Yeh buddy! A dc shock is a good shot. An ac shock causes muscles to alternate. Depending on the voltages from either it can be an enlightning experience.


How do you prevent heat loss in the home?

You should do all these things. * Have loft insulation fitted * Have cavity wall insulation fitted * Draught excluder placed by your doors * Carpet your house all the way round * Have double glazing fitted. You will save lots of valuable pounds.


Why salinometer valve fitted in boiler?

its a device use for measuring the salinity of boiler water. it is generally fitted in water drums .its is provided to prevent the flashing off of boiler water under high pressure condition.


How density and MACH number change across normal shock wave?

Across a normal shock wave, the density of the flow increases as the shock compresses the gas. The Mach number decreases; it transitions from supersonic (greater than 1) upstream to subsonic (less than 1) downstream of the shock. This change occurs because the shock wave converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, resulting in a rise in pressure and temperature. Consequently, the flow properties adjust to accommodate the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy across the shock.

How does impact absorbers work?

Shock absorbers work to minimize the impact of daily wear and collisions on cars, shoes, and other items


What are strut structures?

The Struts are the shock absorbers that include the spring. They are commonly referred to as McPherson Struts. Most cars now have Struts on the front and rear instead of the simple shock absorbers.

What do shock absorbers do?

mabye they "absorb shock!" 2nd Answer: In actual fact, shock absorbers do not absorb shock: the springs do that. The "shock absorbers" dampen rebound (Bouncing). In a bike, the spring is built right around the dampener part.


What acts as a shock absorber in your body?

You have the cartilages in the joints, which act as mechanical shock absorbers. But then you have other functional shock absorbers. You have arches in the foot, which act as shock absorbers. Then when you jump down, you have that spring like movement of the legs. That act as a shock absorbers.


What dose shocks do for the cars?

Shock absorbers are a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and dampen shock impulses. Their intended sole purpose is to damp spring oscillations.


Are the arches of the foot mianly shock absorbers?

no, shock absorbers are in your knees and back. Some people have flat feet.

Are shock absorbers part of the suspesion?

Yes they are typically, 1992 BMW E36 for say has shock absorbers which are safety measures for accidents. They install behind bumpers to allow a 6" movement in the event you hit something (shock absorbers)


How do earthquake resistant buildings protect you from earthquake vibrations?

This works on the same phenomenon as the shock absorbers that the cars have. Also, it would be same as a spring.
