Is an ultrasound wave mechanical vibrating energy?
ultrasound wave is a wave due to mechanical vibration,
Is an ultrasound wave a mechanical wave or an elastic wave or both?
An ultrasound wave (or any other sound wave) is mechanical energy, and can be said to be a mechanical wave. Waves are not elastic. The term elastic may be applied to the medium through which they travel. There are compression and shear forces (among others) that work on the medium, and the medium may present a more or less elastic response.
A wave will only travel as long as it has energy to carry?
A wave needs energy to travel.
What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
Do the two terms wave speed and wave frequency refer to the same thing?
No, frequency is the function of peak/trough pairs per unit time. Speed is the measure of how long it takes to travel a given distance.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.

How long will it take a wave to travel 5000km?
That depends a lot on the speed. Assume any appropriate speed, then divide the distance by the speed.

A wave needs energy to travel.

What is the total distance that a p-wave will travel in 7 mintues and 20 seconds?

Why is ultrasound useful?
ULTRASOUND produce STSTIONERY wave while pass through LIGUID
How does the intensity of a sound wave affect the distance the wave can travel?
the stronger the wave the farther it goes this is because the stronger the wave, the more obstacles it can surpass such as a tree its like a shockwave of an explosion
How can Ultrasound be used to measure the Depth of Sea Water?
an ultrasound wave is beamed down from a boat and then the wave bounces back from the seabed to a reciever. the longer the wave takes, the deeper the water.
What is a wave through?
A wave can travel through any material, whether it be a gas, a liquid, or a solid. The only limiting factors are distance and lack of a material to carry the wave.
