The some wave has the same frequency as the natural frequency of the tuning fork, the tuning fork is made to vibrate due to a process called resonance.

What is it called when you hit one tuning fork and you hold the other tuning fork up close to it and the both of the tuning forks vibrate?
harmonic resonance
Why does a struck tuning fork sound louder when its handle is held against the table?
That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.
What energy transformations occur in a tuning fork?
The arms of the fork are oscilllating, so the energy exchange is between potential energy in the elasticity of the arms of the fork, and kinetic energy during that part of the cycle when the arms are moving. There is also a constant loss of energy to atmospheric damping as the sound dies away.
If a tuning fork starts to vibrate when a certain not is played on the piano this is an example of?
sympathetic vibration
What fundamental characteristics of the sound produced by a tuning fork depends on its frequency?
The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.
How can one tuning fork's vibrations cause another tuning fork to vibrate?
Vibrations are transferred from one to the other through the air. If the two have the same frequency (or a very similar frequency), resonance will occur.

harmonic resonance
What would vibrate on a flute?
Sometimes if screws are loose, then they could vibrate when you play, blow on the flute. If the tuning cap isn't screwed on all the way, then that can vibrate when playing.

Does a tuning fork vibrate because of resonance?
It can, if there's another source of sound nearby, vibrating at the natural frequency of the tuning fork. Example: Two tuning forks with the same natural frequency. The first one can be set vibrating by whacking it against the edge of the table, whereupon the second one will vibrate because it resonates with the first one.
How much does a tuning fork vibrate a minute?
depends on fork
What beat frequency is produced by two tuning forks that vibrate simultaneously withe frequencies?
3.0 HZ
What is a sentence using the word vibrate?
Adding heat causes gas molecules to vibrate, increasing the gas volume or pressure. A car with a damaged valve will usually vibrate noisily while operating. Tuning forks are designed to vibrate and thereby create a particular pitch.
Due to what the vibration of a tuning fork can cause a guitar string to vibrate when the fork is held near the string?
guitars?
