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 type of wave is formed when particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough?
Transverse wave
When particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough what type of wave is formed?
Transverse wave
Why does water in a wave move in a circle but not very far forward?
Because the energy is circulating, not locomoting
Do the energy in waves move water particles forward?
Not really.The individual water particles in a wave move in a circle (up, forward, down, backward) with very little net resulting travel.
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.
Water parts that do not move forward with a wave?
its the particles in the water
What type of wave is formed when particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough?
Transverse wave
When particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough what type of wave is formed?
Transverse wave
What is the rutter?
A rutter is a part of a boat or a animal that helps it move forward.
The wave crest of light waves are to the direction the wave travels?
Perpendicular. Light wave moves forward, the crests move at right angles to the wave
How fast must a boat move to produce a bow wave?
The boat must be going faster then the waves it is creating
What do waves carry from place to place?
No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.
Why do you move forward and a boat moves backward when you jump from a boat to a pier?
The boat goes back word because when you jump your tippy- toes are the only thing left on the boat, and then your feet push forward to do the rest, which makes the boat go backwards.
Explain the movement of the water molecules in waves?
In a transverse wave, a molecule/particle will move up and down, with double the amplitude of the wave. In a longitudinal wave, the molecule/particle will move side to side, equal to the wavelength (?) of the wave
Water in a wave move in a what but not very far forward?
It moves in a circle. Transferring energy.
What is a forward on a boat?
Its the forward part of the boat
