== == == == The object is moving the speed of the water, not the speed of the wave. Example: when you are riding in a car, you are moving the the speed of the car not the speed of the bump in the road. The bumps in the water are mostly caused by wind & are like bumps in the road, but these bumps move. in an ellipse
What else can I help you with?
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.
What part of the water is affected by a wave in deep water?
The water molecules of a deep-water wave move in a circular motion. The diameter of the motion decreases with the distance from the surface. The motion is felt down to a distance of approximately one wavelength, where the wave's energy becomes negligible.
When a wave passes throu the rough of another wave?
When a wave passes through the trough of another wave, the two waves will combine and the amplitudes will either reinforce (constructive interference) or cancel out (destructive interference) depending on their relative positions and frequencies. This interaction is known as wave interference.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
What is the behavior of a wave that passes through another wave?
When a wave passes through another wave, their amplitudes add together in a process called superposition. The resulting wave is a combination of the two waves and can be constructive (when amplitudes reinforce each other) or destructive (when amplitudes cancel each other out). This interaction can lead to interference patterns.
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
What is the motion of particles or floating objects on the surface of the water wave?
Particles or floating objects on the surface of a water wave move in a circular motion as the wave passes beneath them. This circular motion is a combination of the wave's horizontal movement and the vertical oscillation of the particle due to the wave's up and down motion.
What indicates that a water wave transfers energy to a floating object?
When a water wave approaches a floating object, the object will start to oscillate or bob up and down due to the transfer of energy from the wave to the object. This transfer of energy causes the object to move in response to the passing wave.
Water waves can move a piece of cork floating on top of the water only in a up and down motion?
Yes, water waves typically cause objects floating on the surface to move up and down. This is due to the oscillatory motion of the water particles as the wave passes underneath the object, causing it to bob up and down as the wave crest and trough move past.
What is determined by how often the particles in an object vibrates when a wave passes through the object?
The temperature of the object is determined by how often the particles vibrate when a wave passes through it. The higher the temperature, the more the particles vibrate.
What will a leaf which is floating do when a wave comes?
When a wave comes, the leaf floating on the water's surface will move with the motion of the wave. The leaf will rise and fall along with the water's movement but will remain on the surface due to buoyancy.
Why doesn't an object move forward as a wave passes under it?
An object may not move forward as a wave passes under it because the wave's energy is focused on propagating through the medium (such as water or air) rather than exerting a force on the object. The wave causes the medium to move in a circular or up-and-down motion, which is not directly transferred to the object above it.
How do the particles of the surface of the water move when a wave passes by?
As a wave passes by, the particles on the surface of the water move in a circular motion. The particles move in the direction that the wave is traveling causing the water to rise and fall in response to the wave passing by. This circular motion is crucial for transferring energy across the surface of the water.
What happens when a wave reaches the edge of an object?
When a wave reaches the edge of an object, it can either undergo reflection, transmission, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the object, transmission happens when the wave passes through the object, and diffraction occurs when the wave bends around the object. These interactions depend on the properties of the wave and the object it encounters.
What happens to a duck on the surface of a pond when a wave passes under it?
it sinks
How does the frequency of vibration of a small object floating in water compare to the number of waves passing it each second?
The frequency of vibration of a small object floating in water is equivalent to the number of waves passing it each second. As the object moves up and down with the waves, it completes a vibration cycle with each wave that passes, thus the frequency of vibration matches the frequency of the waves passing by.
The movement of a floating object on a pond when struck by a wave?
it is bobbing up and down
