Do unbalanced forces push or pull?
It doesn't really matter; it can be either - or even both: one or more forces can be pulling and one or more forces can be pushing. Or a single pulling or pushing force. The point is, to be called "unbalanced", the sum of all forces must NOT be zero.
Mechanical waves need a through which to transport energy?

Sound waves travels faster through what state of matter?
They travel fastest through air.
Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?
Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through
What happens to light when it travels through transparent object?
by transmission , transmission is when the passing of light or other form of energy through matter .
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on matter it travels through?
That is a longitudinal wave.
Which type of waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?

Energy in the form of a push or pull?
Energy can be transferred to material things by pushing or pulling AND moving it through a distance. The push or pull is a force, and the amount of energy is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance through which it acts. No matter how hard you push or pull, if your force doesn't move through any distance, then no energy is transferred to the thing you're pushing or pulling.
Why is sound not a matter?
It is not a matter because it actually travels through matter (air)
Is sound considered matter?
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
What happens to matter when sound travels through it?
It vibrates.

Does light slow down when it travels through matter?
Light slows down when it travels through matter.The only time light travels at is maximum speed, c, is in a vacuum.
Matter through which a waves travels?
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."
What wave that travels through matter produced by a vibrating object?
sound.
