Are the particles in gas can only vibrate from side to side?
No, they can move in any direction.
Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
What is heat transfer through conduction?
Conduction refers to heat transfer through solids. It is due to conduction that if we heat one side of a rod and place our hand on the other side, we feel the heat.What, basically, happens is that at the point that you have heated the rod, the particles gain more energy. As the particles in a solid are fixed in their position - and can only vibrate - due to the increase in eneery, the particles vibrate faster about their equilibrium positions. When they vibrate faster, they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature. When these particles also start vibrating faster, the cycle is repeated and they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature as well. In this way, the disturbance is spread all over the rod, which is why you feel the heat on the other side of the rod, even though that side is not in direct contact with the heat.
What type of waves cause particles to move back and forth in the same direction the waves are moving?
transverse waves do not carry anything with them, and the particled are not moving exept up-and-down or side-to-side mimicking the wave pattern.
What direction is vertical?
vertical is up and down horizontal is side to side
Are the particles in gas can only vibrate from side to side?
No, they can move in any direction.
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
How do you spell the opposite of vertical?
The opposite (perpendicular direction) of vertical is horizontal, meaning side to side.

What is the opposite of horizontal?
The opposite (perpendicular direction) of horizontal is vertical, (horizontal going across and vertical going from up to down.
In which direction must a student apply a force to a toy car for it to turn to the left?
the child must apply a force on the direction perpendicular to the car from the right side
Is vertical an adjective?
Yes, it is. It means in an upright position or alignment. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the horizontal, i.e. up and down rather than side to side.
What of a side of a triangle is a line perpendicular to a side through the midpont of the side?
Perpendicular bisector.
Perpendicular bisector of a triangle?
Is a line that bisects a side of a triangle and is perpendicular to that side.
What is the name of the line that is perpendicular to a side of the triangle at the midpoint of the side?
A perpendicular bisector
