== == == == The object is moving the speed of the water, not the speed of the wave. Example: when you are riding in a car, you are moving the the speed of the car not the speed of the bump in the road. The bumps in the water are mostly caused by wind & are like bumps in the road, but these bumps move. in an ellipse

Describe water movement when a wave passes through it?
As an ocean wave passes, the water moves up and down in a circular pattern and returns to its original position.
What is the behavior of a wave that passes through another wave?
a constructive wave
When a wave passes throu the rough of another wave?
a tsunami
What happens to interstellar gas as it passes through a spiral density wave?
what happens to interstellear gas as it passes through a spiral density wave
Is S-wave passes through asthenosphere?
yes
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
Why doesn't an object move forward as a wave passes under it?
The wave is not strong enough to move the object forward. It just passes along under the object and goes on its way.
What happens to a duck on the surface of a pond when a wave passes under it?
it sinks
A floating object oscillates up and down 2 complete cycles in 1 second as a water wave of wavelength 5 m passes by The speed of the wave is?
Just use the relationship: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. If the frequency is in hertz (cycles/second), and the wavelength in meters, then of course the speed will be in meters/second.
What happens to each water particle as a wave passes through the ocean?
it stay at the surface
Is it true that loudness is determined by how often the particles in an object vibrate when a wave passes through an object?
No. Loudness is not determined by the wave's frequency, but by its amplitude. That's how much the particles of the object move (how large is the displacement).
How a vibrating object produces compressions and rarefactions?
when air in the form of wave passes through the vibrating object it produce crust and trust.
What occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces?
Waves bouncing off an object is called reflection.
What occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface bounces off?
Waves bouncing off an object is called reflection.
When a wave passes through the ocean it does what?
When a wave passes through the ocean it may make a wave.
Describe motion of a water molecule on the surface of the ocean as a wave passes by?
it goes from crest to trough in a wave like motion. this is the right answer
For a sound wave to produce an echo it must?
It must reflect off the surface of an object
