Particles in an object are constantly moving. The particles also attract and repel each other. This attraction and movement can be classified as?
Brownian motion.
How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
Movement in a transverse wave is perpendicular to the source. Therefore, individual particles move up & down.
In which direction does friction act compared o the direction of movement?
In the same direction as the movement
How does the movement of particles in a stick of butter differ from the movement of particle in a dish of melted butter?
The movement of particles in a hard stick of butter are solid. Their not moving. While the movement of particles in a melted sick of butter are liquid. They are moving.
How do particles in a sound wave move?
The move by expansion and Contraction of the medium by which they are propagated. It is transmitted in air as a longitudinal wave- which means its direction is in line with the movement of the medium.
Convergent boundaries are classified according to the?
Compass direction of movement of the plates.
Particles in an object are constantly moving. The particles also attract and repel each other. This attraction and movement can be classified as?
Brownian motion.
Is propagation of sound waves is SHM?
No. Only the movement of the individual particles is SHM.
The movement of particles through proteins against the normal direction of diffusion?
active transport
What are convergent boundaries classified by?
The Convergent Boundaries are classifid according to the compass direction of movement of the plates.
How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
Movement in a transverse wave is perpendicular to the source. Therefore, individual particles move up & down.
How are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different from one another?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves I.E the direction of movement of each particle in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the transfer of energy, similar to a water wave. Sound waves are transverse and so the direction of the movement of the particles in the medium is the same direction as the movement of the energy.
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
Particles in an object are constantly moving they also attract and repel each other this attravtion and movement can be classified as what?
thermal energy
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
Does condensation gain movement of particles?
the movement of particles increases
What is the wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels called?
Longitudinal wave. (as opposed to Transverse waves, where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of movement.)
