What type of mechanical wave needs a source of energy to produce it?

∙ 12y ago
Since we are dealing with a wave in a medium, therefore energy is needed to move the mass of the medium.
The source of the energy varies - an earthquake, tapping a drumskin, your vocal chords, the wind on the ocean, a violin string and so on.

What is a source of energy that needs another source of energy to produce it?
A secondary
What needs a motor?
A person needs a motor when there is a need for mechanical energy with availability of a power source.
Why geothermal energy is unlikely to become a main energy source?
Areas that are not geologically active do not produce enough energy to meet our needs.
What type of a mechanical wave needs energy to produce it?
all wave are produced by a source but mechanical waves requires material medium to propagate it e.g is sound wave which is a mechanical wave needs material medium for it's propagation i.e material medium like air molecule,sound travels by vibration of air molecule that's why sound can't travel in a vacuum.....
Why do you us mechanical energy?
An example is, if you get on a bus, it needs mechanical energy to go to its destination.
What is mechaincal energy?
The form of energy that needs a medium to travel is known as mechanical energy.For example sound needs a medium to travel,that's why sound can't travel in vacuum,light needs no medium to travel it is non mechanical form of energy.
Why do mechanical systems need an external energy source in order to maintain motion?
Because they need a source of power for example a car needs petrol
Why do cells needs food?
as an energy source like we do
What is the source for short term energy needs?
Glycogen.
What are examples of mechanical energy being transformed into electrical or heat energy?
Any device or process that needs batteries or that needs to be "plugged in" to move is an example of electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy. Some examples: - Starting a car - Running a washer/dryer - A moving fan - Playing a record or CD
Why have your strawberry plant more leaves than fruit?
Because the plant needs the leaves to absorb sunlight and turn it into energy, it takes a lot of energy to produce the fruit, so it needs a lot of leaves to produce that energy.
What the needs of organisms?
energy source, water, minerals, vitamins
