What else can I help you with?
Why would it be very difficult to drop a note in a bottle off of a boat into the waves and have it reach shore?
the bottle will move with the water in a circle
Why does compression happen?
Sound waves move very fast
Can waves move objects over a distance?
If you are talking about waves in an ocean or "sea swells" yes they can, the water is moving and their fore apply the force it has (kinetic) and transfers a VERY small part of that to the object. Therefore causing momentum.
Do the energy in waves move water particles forward?
No, ocean waves involve the transfer of energy through the water, causing circular motion in the water particles. While the energy of the wave can travel great distances, individual water particles mostly move in circular orbits as the wave passes.
What do you call the propagation of disturbance through a medium in which energy is transferred?
That sounds very much like sound waves. (unintentional pun)
Place where water makes very small waves?
A pond or a small stream may have water that makes very small waves due to wind or disturbance. These small waves are often gentle and subtle compared to waves found in larger bodies of water like oceans.
How do you demonstrate transverse waves?
Water waves are known as transverse waves because the motion of the water is up and down, or at right angles to the direction in which the waves are traveling. You can see this by observing a cork bobbing up and down on water as the waves pass by; the cork moves very little in a sideways direction.
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
Do mechanical waves such as sound waves need a medium like air or water to travel through?
The very name "mechanical waves" indicate that these need badly a material medium such as air, water etc.
A place where the water makes very small waves as on a shallow rapid?
riffle
What are the natural processes of a tsunami?
say an earthquake happens somewhere in the ocean (common in the ring of fire) the sea bed moves causing the water to move away from the epidcentre. Tsunamis are huge and very strong waves that crash in to land. The waves destroy everything in it's path
Do tortoises move?
Tortoises do move on dry land, but very slowly. They also do not move in water.
