Is felt man-made?

felt is from animal so it is sythetic


It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter?

darkness or emptiness?


What is a concrete and abstract nouns?

Concrete nouns are words for things that can be experienced by one or more of the five physical senses; they can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched. Example concrete nouns:applebabycolddooreggfencegoathouseicejadeAbstract nouns are things that can't be experienced by any of the physical senses; they can't be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched; they are things that can only be known, understood, learned, believed, or felt emotionally. Example abstract nouns:knowledgelovememoryneedopinionpatiencequestionreasonseasontrouble


What are the 5 examples of abstract nouns?

An abstract noun is a word for something that can't be experienced by any of the physical senses; they can't be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched; they are words for things that can only be known, understood, learned, believed, or felt emotionally.

If you leave a pen and a marker outside with no lid which one will dry faster?

Definutly the marker. It is most likely felt tipped where as a pen is most likely ball point. The felt tip will dry out the fastest. Definutly the marker.

What type of sound wave usually felt rather than heard?

Sound can travel through both air (airborne sound) and solid materials (structure-borne sound). Structure-borne sound can be directly imparted to the building structure by a vibration, such as a humming compressor, or by direct impact, such as a boot stepping on a hardwood floor. As sound energy travels through a building, it changes from one type of transmission to the other and back, losing energy in each transition. Because of its rigidity, wood framing is a very good transmitter of low-frequency sound and hollow wall cavities and thin doors do little to reduce sound transmission.


How you perceive frequency of sound vibration?

With your ears. The faster the vibration, the higher the frequency. A low frequency vibration will be felt more than heard.


Can you give me a sentence using terror?

The sound of the approaching footsteps filled her with terror.


Why can the tremor of the ground from a distant explosion be felt before the sound of the explosion can be heard?

Tremor will be felt first because both the shock (tremor) in the ground and the sound behave as waves -- the tremor is essentially a sound wave in the ground. The tremor will be felt first because the ground is more dense than the air, and the speed of sound increases directly in relationship to increases (although I don't know the specific mathematical relationship) in the density of the material through which it is traveling.


What is the lowest frequency?

The lowest frequency is 10 Hz. A human can hear frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Some frequencies can be felt rather than heard.


How is the highness or lowness of a sound determined?

The pitch of a sound is determined by listening to it. Those with what is called perfect pitch can usually tell what the pitch of a given sound is. The rest of us can use simple electronic equipment that can "read" the frequency of a given waveform.Recall that the mechanical energy we call sound has a pair of basic properties, those being frequency and amplitude. Many different electronic equipments (like an oscilloscope, for one) can be connected to a microphone to determine the pitch of a sound under investigation.


What is somthing you cant see touch or feel but you can hear?

Sound is something that cannot be seen, touched, or felt but can be heard. It is a result of vibrations transmitted through a medium, such as air or water, that are then detected by our ears. Sound waves travel through the air and cause our eardrums to vibrate, allowing us to perceive sound.

What is the difference between fusible felt and interlining?

Fusible felt is usually thinner than most interlining materials. When you iron the outside fabric on the fusible felt it literally fuses together. Do NOT iron the fusible felt directly, it will melt. Interlining is usually loose between stitching whereas if you iron both the top and bottom outer linings with the fusible felt in the inside both outer linings will become attached. Side note: I am no expert I may be mistaken with the information I've provided. Mostly, I answered the question on intuition. I myself just heard of fusible felt yesterday. :D


What are two ways that animals sense vibrations?

Vibrations are sound which may be heard though an animal's ears. Vibrations may also be felt through the sense of touch. Heat is also a vibration and this can be sensed by heat sensors.

Why can't we feel sound?

you CAN feel sound, hearing things IS feeling sound, in fact, if you have ever had a deep strong bass that you can feel in your chest, you have felt sound.
