In Newtonian terms, yes but otherwise no. Molecules are always in a state of vibration. Also, the term "fixed position" assumed a fixed frame of reference and Einstein's work showed that there is no such thing.

What is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move away from the rest positions as a wave passes through the medium?

The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.


Are humans solids?

You may think so but actually no. Humans are made with liquids surprisingly. Like our blood, our saliva and other thing are made out of liquids. the rest of our body is made out of bone and tissue.


Which is not assumption about particles in a gas according to the kinetic theory?

One assumption of the kinetic theory of gases is that gas particles occupy a negligible volume compared to the volume of the container. Therefore, the idea that gas particles have significant volume or that they interact through forces that significantly affect their motion would not align with the assumptions of the kinetic theory. Additionally, the assumption that gas particles are in constant random motion contradicts any notion of them being at rest or having fixed positions.


What is the maximum distance the particles of medium carrying the wave move away from the rest positions?

Any wave oscillates about the equilibrium (rest) position with a maximum distance from equilibrium of A, which is the amplitude. This depends on the type of wave (water on pond, light, that parachute from elementary class...)


Do sound waves travel best through solids liquids gases or vacuums?

Sounds can't travel through a vacuum, it requires a medium (something to travel through). It can travel through the rest but the best is gases because the particles are more spaced out, unlike solids and liquids which are more closely packed.


What is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart?

A longitudinal wave can go through solids, liquids, and gases.A transversal wave will usually only go through solids. (Electromagnetic waves, however, can also go through empty space.)


What are four positions of rest in the US marine corps?

rest, at-ease, parade rest, stand-by


What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?

If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.


Where is rest position in a wave?

The rest position in a wave is the position where the particles of the medium are when they are not vibrating. It is the equilibrium position that the particles return to when there is no disturbance. In a transverse wave, the rest position is the position of the particles when the wave is not passing through.


Is it possible that both of the particles can be at rest after collision?

Yes, it is possible for both particles to be at rest after a collision if the initial momentum of the system is zero. In this case, the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, which can result in both particles coming to rest.


What do you call the maximum distance that the particles of a medium move from the rest position?

The maximum distance that particles of a medium move from their rest position is called amplitude.


What is the distance the particles in a wave move away from their rest position?

Amplitudethe maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position
