But they transfer their vibrational energy to the sounding board at significantly different rates.
In addition, the two woofers are so arranged that very little vibrational energy is created within the cabinet in the first place.
Once absorbed, it is transformed into vibrational and rotational energy, which we perceive as warmth.
Most of the vibrational energy is at the fundamental frequency, with very few overtones (harmonics).
In case of molecules in the gas rotational and vibrational energy is involved.
Another way is to interact with the vibrational energy of the atoms within the molecules.
This bulky piece acts a bit like a ratchet; the wheel requires some vibrational energy to get past it.
The lowest excitation vibrational energy in water is the bending mode (about 1600 cm).
Sensors in the corners convert the vibrational energy into electrical signals.
At any given instant, each molecule in a sample has a certain amount of vibrational energy.
