Yes, hail can shatter a window if it is large and moving at a high velocity. The impact of large hailstones can cause glass to break, especially if the window is already weak or damaged.
One can avoid hail damage to one's car by parking it in a garage. Hail stones are usually small but can be as large as a golf ball or even larger. In areas prone to large hail stones, roofs are usually covered with materials that do not shatter, which avoids a lot of expensive damage.
A window is not typically rigid but can be brittle if it is made of glass. Glass is a brittle material that can shatter easily upon impact. Other window materials, such as plastic or acrylic, may be more flexible and less likely to break.
Hail Hail the Celts Are Here was created in 1961.
If lightning strikes a window near a person, the glass may shatter, potentially causing injury from flying shards. The electrical discharge could also travel through the window and into the person, resulting in electric shock. It's important to stay away from windows during a thunderstorm to reduce the risk of harm.
Hail is frozen precipitation that forms in thunderstorms, while snow forms in colder clouds. Hail and snow are not the same; hail typically forms in warmer conditions than snow. Once hail falls to the ground, it remains as hail and does not turn into snow.
It will not shatter a window but it can put a chip in the glass.
It can shatter without having force exerted on it. Rapid heating and cooling causes it to expand and contract, which will eventually form hairline cracks, and can ultimately cause a window to shatter.
yes
No, if there is a tornado or hail near a window is one of the least safe places to be.
If it was thrown hard enough. Than again, pretty much any solid object can shatter a window if thrown hard enough...
The window shattered due to a strong impact or force applied to it.
yes
No. Paramedics carry a tool to shatter car windows.
outside
a) same pressure on inside pushing out. b) unequal pressures.
Ya if a ugly person is looking at it LOL
