When any mechanical wave moves through it, the physical medium vibrates around

its equilibrium positiion, but on the average over each complete vibration, it doesn't

move to a different location.

What makes waves by boats moving through the water?

When a boat moves through water, the energy transfers from the moving boat to the stagnant water. The energy ripples through the water causing the wave-like movements.


Water in a wave moves what and what?

Well . . . boats, shallow swimmers and fish, and energy can all do that.


What do ocean waves and currents have to do with energy waves and electrical currents?

energy travels through waves.Waves can be in water, but they can also be on land or in the air.A wave moves energy from one place to another.light,sound and mechanical energy all travel in waves.

Is waves noun?

Yes, "waves" is a noun. It refers to a disturbance that moves through a medium, often described as the movement of energy through water or air in the form of a wave.


How water moves as waves travel through it.?

vibration


Do the energy in waves moves across the water?

When the wind blows across the water, it changes the water's surface, first into ripples and then into waves.


Explain how water moves as wave energy travels through it?

Sea waves travel as up-and-down vibrations: the water moves up and down (without really moving anywhere) as the energy in the wave travels forward. Waves like this are called transverse waves. That just means the water vibrates at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Sound waves work in a completely different way.


How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transfer by a moving object?

In energy Transfer by waves, the energy moves through the the medium, for example the water, but isn't carrying the water with it. In energy transfer by a moving object the energy is traveling by means of an object. So, energy transfer by waves can be pictured as a person (the energy) swimming through water (the medium) and energy transfer through an object can be pictured as a person (the energy) riding a bicycle (the object) In the first case the energy itself is moving through a medium, where in the second case the energy is using its power to move by use of an object. Hope this helps you understand!


Which kind of energy travels as waves and moves through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves, which includes light. Also, gravitational waves.
