That would depend on many factors. Length, thickness, density, resonance....too many factors to take a stab at an answer.

What does the spring ligament support?
The spring ligament supports the medial longitudinal arch.
Compare and contrast 3 types of waves?
Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
What happens to a human when its spring?
nothin they get happy and start wearing summer clothes
What happens to the potential energy in a jack-in-the-box when you release the lid?
It is released (it has been stored in the spring) and appears as kinetic energy
What is the Idea that rocks on either side of the fault spring back to a position of a little or no strange at the moment of an earthquake causing vibration in the earths crust?
Rocks on the side of a spring will move if there is a earthquake. When a earthquake happens it shakes everything.

What type of wave passes through the spring in the frog toy?
Longitudinal wave

The spring ligament supports the medial longitudinal arch.
Three mechanical waves briefly describe each?
Slinkys or springs is one of the best ways to conceptualize a wave. Three types of waves are: transverse - If you hold both ends of the spring in place and then shake one end in a direction perpendicular to the springs length, you will see a transverse wave. It looks like a lump sticking out of it and moving down the spring. longitudinal - If you hold both ends of the spring in place and then push one end towards the other end forward and backwards, you will see a longitudinal wave. It looks like a dense spot in the spring/slinky that moves towards the other end. surface - For this type of wave, it is easiest to picture a ripple in a pond. Every particle moves both transverse and longitudinal. Every particle moves in a circular path.
What is the past particle of spring?
sprung spring sprang sprung
In longitudinal waves in a spring the parts where the coils are spread out are called?
rarefactions
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
What Best Describes longitudinal Waves?
Imagine a long spring or slinky (the toy). Now if you give a jerk to the spring from one side, while keeping the other end fixed, you will be able to see a compressions travelling from your end to the fixed end of the spring. Congrats, you just saw a longitudinal wave!
In longitudinal waves in a spring the parts where the coils are spread out are called what?

Which type of mechanical wave is produced by pushing sharply on the end of a spring?
a longitudinal wave
Compare and contrast 3 types of waves?
Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
What place do stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon?
That happens on the equator, where a star on the equator rises vertically and passes overhead before setting vertically. That also happens with the Sun at the spring and autumn equinoxes.
