What are induced impacts?

Induced impacts are like ripples in a pond, when something happens, it causes other things to happen too.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. You push one block over, and boom! It knocks into the next block, which then knocks into the third one. That’s an induced impact, the first block falling caused other blocks to fall too, even though you only touched the first one.

Think of it like dominoes. When you knock over the first domino, it hits the next one, and so on. Each domino falling is an impact, and all the others falling because of it are induced impacts.

Or picture your favorite toy car. If you bump into it while playing, it might crash into another toy car, which then crashes into a tower of blocks. All those things happening after the first bump are induced impacts, they didn’t happen directly from your bump, but because of it.

So, induced impacts are just what happens because of something else, like a chain reaction in a playground! Induced impacts are like ripples in a pond, when something happens, it causes other things to happen too.
