Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction
Three ways that waves change direction are reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
when EM waves encounter a material medium, they can interact with it in much the same way that mechanical waves do. A mechanical wave transfer energy in two ways. As it travels, the wave moves potential energy from one place to another.
The variably of velocity can be increased or decreased by altering other factors. The removal or reduction of air resistance can result in higher velocity (if force is held constant). If force is increased velocity can also become higher. Reduction of mass and varying gear ratios can also correspond to higher velocity.
To change the acceleration of a car: speed up, slow down or turn. Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is "how fast" and in "what direction". To speed up is to accelerate (increase the velocity). To slow down is to deaccelerate (decrease the velocity) To turn is also a form of acceleration (changes the direction of the velocity).
If an object's speed changes, or it heads off in a new direction, its velocity has changed. Because of friction and gravity 1. acceleration 2. deceleration 3. change of direction
The three ways that sound waves interact are: reflection, diffraction, refraction.
Three ways that waves change direction are reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
Two main ways. First water waves are essentially two dimensional, i.e. on the surface of water, and sound waves are three dimensional - they (generally) spread out in all directions from the source of the sound. Second water waves are up and down undulations in the water, and are therefore at right angles to the direction of motion (transverse waves). Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions in the same direction as the direction of motion (longitudinal waves).
Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.
speed, slow down or change direction or some combination thereof.
Unbalanced forces can cause an object to speed up, slow down, or change direction by pushing or pulling it in a certain direction.
Reflection: Waves bounce off the surface of an object. Refraction: Waves change direction as they pass through different mediums. Absorption: Waves transfer energy to the matter they interact with, causing it to heat up.
Three ways something can accelerate are 1. increase speed 2. change direction 3. both.
Longitudinal waves cause particles of the medium to vibrate parallel to the direction the waves travel. In these waves, compressions (areas of high pressure) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure) move in the same direction as the wave propagation, causing the particles to oscillate back and forth in the direction of wave motion. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
speed and direction
Three ways of acceleration are increasing speed, changing direction, or both at the same time. Acceleration can also occur when an object slows down, known as deceleration. It is the rate of change of velocity over time.
