If you hit solid ice with a hammer, it may shatter into smaller pieces. Liquid water would disperse under the force of the impact. Steam, as a gas, would not be affected by a hammer.

How does a water hammer pump work to prevent the occurrence of water hammer in a plumbing system?

A water hammer pump works by absorbing the shock waves created by sudden changes in water flow in a plumbing system. It does this by using a cushion of air or a spring-loaded mechanism to dampen the pressure spikes that can cause water hammer. This helps prevent the occurrence of water hammer by reducing the impact of the sudden changes in water flow, thereby protecting the pipes and fixtures in the plumbing system.


Why are my pipes vibrating and then when I start to open the faucet up it stops?

The vibrating pipes could be due to water hammer, which is caused by a sudden halt of flowing water in the pipes. When you open the faucet, the water starts flowing smoothly again, eliminating the water hammer effect and stopping the vibration. Installing a water hammer arrestor can help prevent this issue.


How does the whirlpool happen?

A whirlpool forms when opposing currents meet and create a spinning vortex of water. This can happen naturally in oceans, rivers, or lakes where different flows collide. The circular motion of the whirlpool is caused by the conservation of angular momentum as the water moves around a central point.


What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?

The three forms of energy from the sun are solar radiation (light and heat), solar thermal energy (used for heating water and spaces), and solar photovoltaic energy (converted into electricity using solar panels).
