When you squeeze together the coils of a spring and then release them what type of wave are you creating?
longitudinal. this is like a sound/pressure wave or how automotive traffic flows. the other type of wave is a transverse wave which describes propagation of EM radiation.
When a longitudinal wave carries energy through a spring the area where the coils of spring are closer together than they would be in the rest position is called?
Compression
How the coil springs look like as you move it back and forth.?
Coil springs have a cylindrical shape and look like a metal coil. When moved back and forth they can be seen to compress and decompress and they make a distinct metallic sound. When compressed the spring will flatten out slightly and when released it will return to its coiled shape. The spring\'s coils may also move ever so slightly back and forth as the spring is compressed and decompressed. The number of coils and the diameter of the spring will affect the overall look. The more coils a spring has the more "bulkier" it will look; a spring with fewer coils will be more compact. The diameter of the spring will also affect its look as a thicker spring will have more compact coils and a thinner spring will look more stretched out. In addition to the overall shape the individual coils of the spring can be seen when it is moved back and forth. The coils are usually spaced evenly apart and wrapped tightly together. The surface of the individual coils is usually smooth although there may be some ridges along the edges. These ridges are usually the result of the manufacturing process and help to keep the individual coils in place.
What two ways can you increase the elastic potential energy of a spring?
by pressing the spring down witch coils the spring.
In a longitudinalwave moving along a spring areas where the coils are the farthest apart are called?
rarefactions
How the spacing between coils of a sring change if the amplitude of compressional waves travling along the spring increases?
if you squeeze a part of the spring close together the other part of the spring is going to be more apart .
What is it called when the coils of a spring are spread out?
The spring has been stretched. When the coils are squeezed together then the spring has been compressed.
Explain how the spacing between coils of a spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increases?
In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart
How the spacing between coils of spring changes as the amplitude of a compressional wave traveling along the spring increase?
In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart. So this is how it increases.

In longitude waves in a spring the parts where the coils are close together are called?

Using a spring as an example explain the compressions and rarefactions of a wave?
Compressions are the parts where the coils are close together

Compression
How does the slinky toy believe as you move it up and down?
The slinky toy is a spring. As you move it up and down the coils in the spring will cause it to become longer, then shorter.
What are spring clamps used for?
Spring clamps are used for holding two or more solid objects together with tremendous force. The spring clamps obtain a very high amount of pressure from the coils.
