What Exactly is a Shock Wave? - Physics Stack Exchange The Wikipedia defintion of a shock wave pretty much sums up all I've found online about what a shock wave is: A shock wave is a type of propagating disturbance Like an ordinary wave, it carries
North East OK - Mossberg shockwave 590 12 ga Price lowered Mossberg Shockwave 590 12ga, 14 3 8 barrel length chambered for 2 3 4' and 3" Top rail and side saddle attached I bought it used, thought I would use or want, but decided it isn't for me I put 10 rounds through it Functions as it should, I just won't use it $400 pm for questions
How can you protect yourself from an acoustic shock wave? that's just the mass of the earth above the underground shelter (engineering jargon) the mass has two beneficial effects: 1) it tends to reflect shock and acoustic (subsonic) waves and 2) being crumbly, it tends to dissipate the energy of an impinging shock through friction, thereby protecting the shelter from damage the design of bomb shelters is a well-developed art
Why does a blast wave travel faster than sound? I thought a blast wave was a sound wave In the technical literature, a distinction is made between detonation, and deflagration In both of these there is a rapid chemical reaction The chemical reaction in one area stimulates the same reaction in a neighboring area This creates a reaction "front", that moves rapidly from through the reactive material The speed at which this front moves
How is a shock wave a wave? - Physics Stack Exchange Yeah that video is fun but doesn't really answer my question, and that other question is interesting but asks more for a definition and I am more interested in where the crests of this shockwave are, or whether it's one giant crest or anything visual that connects to the picture in my OP
