How does a wave travels through a medium but yet the medium stays in its place?
Most types of waves are considered to have no mass. eg. Light has no mass, its really just a vibration of electromagnetic energy. If you have no mass, then their is no force to act upon the medium.
What affects the wavelength of a mechanical wave moving trough a medium?
The amount of initial energy affects the wavelength of a mechanical wave moving through a medium. A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input to be created. Once this initial energy is added, the wave will travel through the medium until all the energy has been transferred.
What determines the current in each branch of a parallel circuit?
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.
How is waves speed related to its wavelength and frequency?
As long as the wave stays in the same medium, the product of its wavelength and frequency is always the same number ... its speed.
What stays in one place and moves around?
A gyroscope?

How does the inflatable travel pillow stay securely in place without slipping?
The Ultimate Inflatable Travel Pillow stays securely in one place without slipping due to it's shape and the strap that is attached to the back of it. It is perfect for long trips.
Does a medium travel with the mechanical wave or does the wave just travel through the medium?
No. (You can play loud music from speakers on one side of the room for as long as you want to, and you won't cause the air to pile up on the other side.)
Where is it possible to book stays in dreams resorts?
There are plenty of places to book stays in Dreams Resorts. The Dreams Resort website has booking information and promotional packages. As well, you could book through a travel agency.
What does it mean to say that waves transfer energy without moving the medium in same direction?
The energy moves but the medium stays put. A cork will rest in one spot with the waves passing underneath it. In an electrical circuit the energy moves, but the electrons remain in place.
What determines the current in each branch of parallel of circuit?
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.

Where can one find information about Boston resorts?
Information on Boston resorts is available through TripAdvisor and Expedia. These travel websites offer reviews on hotel stays and a list of amenities.
WHY styrofoam cups keep liquid hot and cold?
Heat cannot travel through the foam material so the drink stays well insulated inside the foam cup.
