The physical process by which sound moves through a medium such as air molecules for example, involves vibrations wherein compressions and de-compressions (rarefactions) are manifest and transport the wave energy through the medium while leaving the air molecules more or less in the same place afterwards. The concept should generally be understood to be not so much the gross motion of particles from source to destination, as rather the motion of the wave energy itself from the source. As such it would be better to say that air particles vibrating quickly or with a higher frequency are perceived as a higher note or pitch, and more slow vibrations indicative of a lower tone or pitch.

What happens to the air particles inside a hot air balloon when the burner is turned off?
they slow down
How does removing heat from a material change the motion of it's particles?
the particles slow down. hope this helps! :)
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The wave will move faster, increasing its speed.
Which mass wasting is slow movement of solid particles down?
A slow mass movement of individual sediments is a creep. It happens so slowly that you cannot see it happening and it can go on for years.
Why do particles from a cooled hot drink slow down?
That simply means that the lid will reduce the heat transfer.
What eventually happens to a sound wave traveling through the air?
particles in the air slow it down and cause it to stop eventually
What happens to the particles in a hot drink when it cool down?
they slow down.
What happens if a liquid particles slow down?
it becomes a solid.
What happens to the particles of a liquid in a can as it cools down after heating?
The particles will have lower kinetic energy, which will slow them down, and the pressure inside the can will decrease as a result.
What causes particles to slow down and contract?
what causes particles to slow down and contract
What happens to the particles when liquids cool?
When liquids cool, the particles tend to tighten up, or get really close together, and slow down.
What happens to the particles when an object cools?
When an object cools, the particles' kinetic energy transfers back into potential energy, the particles slow down.
How does removing heat from a material change the motion of it's particles?
the particles slow down. hope this helps! :)
What happens to the air particles inside a hot air balloon when the burner is turned off?
they slow down
What happens to a fluids viscosity when it is heated?
the particles move alot faster, but when there cold they start to slow down
What happens to energy particles when they are frozen?
the particles move slow
What happens to the speed of particles when freezing occurs?
When molecules freeze the rate of speed they go at tends to slow down
