Have you ever heard a really loud sound, like a balloon popping or a firecracker going off? That's called an explosion. Sometimes, when people want to stop something from moving, they use something called an explosion to do it. But sometimes, if they use an explosion to stop something, it can be dangerous.
So, instead of using an explosion, they use something called a nonexplosive stop. This is a way of stopping something from moving without making a big loud noise or causing a big explosion.
When someone wants to use a nonexplosive stop, they might use things like brakes on a bike or a car. They can also use special materials or machines that slow things down gradually, like putting on the brakes on a roller coaster.
Nonexplosive stops are important because they are much safer and quieter than using an explosion to stop something. They help things slow down and come to a stop in a way that doesn't hurt people or damage things around them.
