suspensions

Suspension refers to the temporary removal or interruption of something from its normal state or position. The term is used in various contexts, including education, mechanics, and chemistry.

In education, suspension is a disciplinary measure where a student is temporarily removed from school due to misconduct. The duration can vary, and it often serves as a warning or punishment. For instance, a student might be suspended for a few days for violating school rules.

In vehicle mechanics, suspension refers to the system that connects the wheels to the vehicle body, absorbing shocks from bumps and providing a smoother ride. Common types include coil spring, leaf spring, and air suspension systems. This system is crucial for vehicle handling and passenger comfort.

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas. Unlike solutions, the particles do not dissolve and can settle over time. Examples include muddy water and orange juice with pulp. Suspensions are distinct from solutions because the solute does not dissolve and can be filtered out.
