Undergrad Could vibration carry electricity or something else?

Click For Summary
Vibrations, defined as sound waves, can carry mechanical energy and can be converted into electrical energy. This conversion is exemplified in piezoelectric materials, which generate electricity when subjected to mechanical stress. The discussion raises the question of whether vibrations could transport electricity or have chemical implications. The movement of vibrations ceases when they dissipate or reach a boundary. Understanding these principles can lead to innovative applications in energy transfer and conversion.

A vibration moves along until it has moved too far or there is no other objects to travel to, so does that mean it could carry electricity or something chemistry related?

Welcome to PF.

A vibration is a sound wave. It can carry the mechanical energy of movement.
Mechanical vibration energy can be converted to and from electrical energy.

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
