What determines how severe an electric shock will be?

Voltage of the source and your body's resistance


What is the velocity of an airplane made up of?

Velocity is simply the fancy word- more scientific for speed. One speaks, for example of the muzzle velocity of a firearm- actually that of the bullet discharged. Aircraft speedometers- usually called by airmen Air Speed Indicators work on the measurement of the plane"s shock wave and have pitot and static tubes- the shock wave is always proportional to the craft"s velocity. Speeds in Mach factors are relative to the speed of sound- 760MPh at sea level- hence Mach"s constant. At higher altitudes, owing to reduced wind resistance ( less atmosphere to buck, so to speak) it is much lower.


What makes a Casio G Shock so tough?

The Casio G Shock series of watches are supposed to be so tough because they can withstand hard knocks and strong vibrations and have light and water resistance.


What is the difference between fore shock and after shock?

A fore shock is a shock before the earthquake(main shock) and can be quite danerous. An after shock is a shock after an earthquake that are usually way more dangerous then foreshocks.


Why do stationary or massless photons interact with gravity?

Intense gravitational waves shock the velocity of massless objects including photons or any other electromagnetic radiation carriers, and this is linked to Einstein's general theory of relativity and the gravitational lensing effect dictated by larger objects around which light velocity vector bends but its value remains invariant.

Will you get a electric shock when the negative terminal of the dc power supply is grounded and the positive terminal is held by us?

Only if we are also in contact, directly or indirectly, with ground. By ohm's law, current is voltage divided by resistance. Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so current is voltage times conductance. No conductance - no current.


How do ants survive a huge fall what technology do they have that humans do not?

Ants have a couple of things going for them, but mainly physics of airflow. In essence the terminal velocity of an ant in air is much slower than that of a human. Terminal velocity is the speed and which air resistance forces counter balance gravity and you do not accelerate (go any faster) anymore while falling. The terminal velocity of an ant is about 4 mph whereas a human is well over 100 mph. So an ant has much less of an impact speed when it hits the ground. The other thing (although minor after impact speed) that helps is an ant body is more deformable than a humans and able to absorb shock better.


What does shock mean in g-shock?

G= Gravity Shock+Gravity=Gravity shock which means it's shock resistance when dropped.

Which CD player has the best shock resistance?

There isn't a CD player that offers the best shock resistance since they all pretty much offer this feature and the charcteristic which define this feature is universal for most players.

Does an explosion create a shock wave?

Almost always, if the velocity of the expanding gases exceed the velocity of sound in that medium you will have a sonic boom. But even if you merely pop a paper bag, there will be a small shock wave as the air pressure dissipates to become equal with the surroundings.


Why if you touch positive terminal of the dc supply is not give shock?

If you touch one side and nothing else there is no path for a current to flow, therefore no shock. Don't try this with a supply of 50 v or more.


What conditions make a patient micro shock sensitive?

A patient becomes micro shock sensitive if the skin resistance is bypassed such as by an intravenous infusion, or a catheter. Most of the body's resistance is in its dry skin. If the skin gets wet, salts go into ion form, thus, lowering the resistance.Ê


Define high and low velocity impact?

In mechanics, an impact refers to the shock or force produced when two or more bodies collide. High and low velocity impacts basically differ in the speed at which the objects collided. Low velocity impact is normally under 30 mph while high velocity impact is above.
