    Glass Ice Sound
AI Thread Summary
Shattering ice or glass using sound is theoretically feasible, as specific sound frequencies can resonate with materials, causing them to break. The key is to identify the resonant frequency of the glass or ice, which varies by material type and thickness. Techniques may involve using a loudspeaker or a focused sound source to emit sound waves at the correct frequency. Practical applications could include sound engineering or specialized equipment designed for marketing purposes. Understanding the physics of sound and resonance is crucial for successfully executing this concept.

Hi everyone!

for a marketing campaign we want to shatter ice or glass using sound - like when in films someone screams and all glass windows break..Is this feasible and how would you go by doing it?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks :)

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
