tool designed to strike animals or people to aid in guidance or exert control through pain compliance or fear of pain / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Whip (disambiguation).
A whip is a long strand of leather or other fabric with a hard handle. When a person shakes a whip fast, it makes a loud "crack" sound, because it has broken the sound barrier because flicking a whip causes a loop that gets faster and faster across the whip.[1] It is used for directing or hitting animals or people. Some whips are made for corporal punishment or flogging.
