Prompt
A car driving over a big speed bump in slow motion, showing it bouncing up and down.” Close-up of a spring compressing and decompressing next to a shock absorber. Cutaway animation of a shock absorber with fluid inside, a piston moving through oil, arrows showing resistance.” Someone stirring thick honey with a spoon in slow motion.” Split screen: left side with a car bouncing wildly (no shocks), right side with a smooth ride (with shocks). Modern car suspension system animation with glowing shock absorbers and smooth driving over bumps.”
Script
Ever wonder why your car doesn’t bounce forever after a bump? That’s thanks to something called a shock absorber.” When your wheel hits a bump, the spring absorbs the energy—and the shock absorber slows it down by forcing oil through tiny holes in a piston. Think of it like stirring honey—resisting fast movement. That’s exactly what your shocks do.” Without shock absorbers, your car would bounce out of control, lose grip, and be unsafe.” Springs absorb the impact. Shocks control the ride. Now you know!”
