Best Answer

You are referring to 'compressing waves' which carry energy along the wave, which causes this momentarily compression, the opposite of this is rarefaction, where the particles spread out.

Why is it more exhausting to run on sand than on concret?

In sand the particles are loose. So if you wish to go ahead you have to exert more force on the sand as the particles will sink in a little i.e you are compressing the sand a little and hence a bit of your force is lost there. Whereas in concrete the particles are tightly packed and barely gets compressed. Hence only the threshold force is required for you to move forward.


What happends to a motion of a particle as a wave passes through a medium?

The particle will move briefly, then get back to its starting point. The wave moves ahead, the individual particles don't.The particle will move briefly, then get back to its starting point.

How is heat energy related to the motion of particles?

i had tis fr homework and i also had this ques.. so i got it rigth so im gonna go ahead and give ya the answer ant the answer is particles transfer heat energy by bumping into each other...thats th answer


Why is it that the delta wing is efficient in high speed?

The delta wing has the ability to fly at higher speed because the barrier formed by the accumulation of air particles at the leading edge of the wing is evaded. Most of the wing is ahead of the barrier and thus the ability to fly better at higher mach numbers.


How do waves change as they approach The?

Swell "feels" bottom (half the wavelength), circular water particles change to flattened eclipses. Wavelength slows down, but period remains the same, wave becomes too high for its wavelength. Crest moves ahead of the base b/c of a 3:4 ratio of wave height to water depth and breaks.

How far you can see ahead becomes shorter as you reach a hilltop?

Incorrect. You can see the same distance. You are looking in a direction other than the other side of the hill momentarily. As you crest the hill your angle of view changes to include the oncoming terrain.

On a cosmic calendar in which the history of the universe is compressed into 1 year when did Kepler and Galileo first discover that you live on a planet in a solar system?

OK. Let's say that all times are compressed by a factor of 13 billion. Let's just go right ahead and say that.Now let's take the high point of Galileo and Kepler to be roughly 500 years ago.500 years . . . which is 1.5778 x 1010 seconds . . . when compressed by a factor of 13 billion . . .compresses to 1.214 seconds ago.
