When a wave is on the surface of the ocean what direction do the molecules move in?
In an ocean wave, the water molecules move in a circular motion. As the wave passes through, water molecules move in an elliptical path, with no net forward movement. The energy of the wave is what is being transferred, not the water molecules themselves.
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.
Difference between wave and oscillation?
Wave oscillation occurs in the open sea in deep water, wave energy moves forward, not the water itself. Wave of translations begins to form in shallower water when the water depth is about 1/2 of the wavelength (from crest(top) of wave 1 to crest of wave 2) and the wave begins to "feel bottom."
When a wave moves what happens to the medium?
When a wave moves through a medium, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's travel. The energy of the wave is transferred through the medium without causing a net movement of the medium itself.
What is the net force on a rock that weighs 500N if the water is 300N?
The net force on the rock is 200N. This is calculated by subtracting the weight of the water from the weight of the rock. The net force accounts for any resulting motion or acceleration of the rock.

Describe water movement when a wave passes through it?
Water molecules move in an elliptical orbit as a wave passes through them. As the wave passes, the water molecules return to their original position, with no net movement in the direction of the wave. The energy of the wave is what propagates through the water, not the water itself.
How can you tell if the net force is zero?
you can tell only if there is no motion or movement.
How does water move in an isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, water molecules move across the cell membrane in both directions at equal rates. This means that there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, resulting in a stable cell volume.
What does the term net movement mean for biology?
The water is not moving equilibrium.
What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentrations to low?

Where is the net movement of water in a hypotonic solution?
no Water will move freely between the two solutions if they are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. However, there will be no net change in the concentration of water on either side of the membrane. Differences in solute concentration will allow you to predict net changes in water movement.

Why will an unanchored boat in the ocean move up and down in place but not move towards shore?
To be clear, motion to the left and right also exists in the ocean, and the unanchored boat stays in place because there is no net movement in the direction of the shore. Of course, we'll assume that there is no net wind movement in a set direction to discuss your question. The movement of the unanchored boat is produced by the transfer of energy through seawater via wave motion. To understand how waves propagate through seawater, think of the ocean as a flexible bulk material. To understand how the waves propagate through the ocean, think of seawater as a flexible, continuous bulk medium held together in its form by the extensive network of hydrogen bonds between individual water molecules. Consider a wave of air molecules moving toward the surface of the ocean. The energy of the wave transfers through a cascade of collisions between neighboring air molecules and propagates into the ocean. As the wave propagates through the ocean, oscillations and vibrations begin to deform the seawater in a given direction (say, to the left). The force of the leftward moving wave progressively weakens as the energy of the wave disperses outward until it equals the intermolecular forces between water molecules that pull the wave in the opposite direction (to the right). The continuously increasing leftward energy transfer begins to form a rightward restoring force that reverses the seawater deformation to the left. Seawater restoration proceeds until the intermolecular forces of water molecules weakens to the point where rightward wave motion becomes dominant again, completing a full cycle of left to right wave motion. This cycle repeats over and over again for each of the waves propagating in all directions, producing the up-down, left-right periodic oscillations of the unanchored boat. Since the seawater deformation caused by each wave is fully reversed by a restoration force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, there is no net movement toward the shore and the boat just continues oscillates in place.
