How does the air particles vibrate and make a sound wave?
well...the particles in the air start to go up and down so a sound wave starts to form,then that sound wave travels in to peoples ears etchope this answer was useful :)
How does conduction worrk?
Conduction can only occur in solids. Good conductors are metal, for example. In conduction, there is a heat source. The heat will heat up one part of the solid. As a result, the particles vibrate voilently. Then, the vibrating particles will make particles next to them vibrate and so on...
Why does water heat up and cool down slowly?
Because the particles, when they heat up, they vibrate and heat up, and when they stop heating up, well, it takes them a while to stop vibrating, and cool down.
What is the name for air particles bunching up in a sound wave?
Compression
What kind of particles make up wind?
Loosen particles
How does sound made by a vibrating object travel?
A vibrating object transfers its energy to the air around it (i.e. the molecules and atoms of substances that make up the atmosphere). The energy is transfered as kinetic energy which causes a particle to move, thus colliding with another. Our ear "hears" the collision of air particles and relays it to our brain to be decoded as a sound.

Why do metal handles on a saucepan get hot even though its not touching the flame?
The handle of the saucepan would heat up when on the hob. It heats up due to the vibrating particles vibrating more as heat is added . the higher vibrating particles will now rub others whilst vibrating and heat them up so on son - until the particles are all hot and making the handle hot.
Are sound waves are made up of chains and vibrating chains?
molecules
Is sound and light are made up of particles?
No because sound and light are created and you can not create something that is made up of particles

How sounds measured?
sound is measured with an am meter it can detect sound from miles away. It picks up the sound waves send out by the vibrating signal you give out when you speak
How is heat related to the motion of particles?
Atoms, molecules and ions are tiny particles that made up matter. Because of the continuous motion of these particles, either bumping into each other or vibrating back and forth, heat is created.
How is acoustic energy generated?
Acoustic energy is generated by vibrating air. The vibrating air produces sound waves which are picked up by tiny hairs the human ear, and processed by the brain.
What series of longitudinal waves in air and in other media are set up by vibrating bodies?
These are known as sound waves.
Why do the particle of objects have both kinetic and potential energy?
The particles that make up an object with have both types of energy because they are at some height (gravitational potential), vibrating back and forth (kinetic energy, and made of charged particles electric potential because of electric fields).
