What characteristics measures the amount of particle vibration?

The amplitude of particle vibration measures the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position. The frequency of vibration indicates how many times a particle oscillates back and forth in a given time period. The energy of vibration determines the intensity or strength of the particle motion.


What is the particle motion?

Brownian motion


Measures the amount of particle vibration?

The amplitude of a wave measures the amount of particle vibration. It is the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position as it oscillates back and forth in a wave.


What is a measure of the energy of motion of the particles in a substance?

Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.


What is the name given to the energy possessed by a particle due to its motion?

The energy possessed by a particle due to its motion is called kinetic energy. It depends on the mass of the particle and its velocity.


What is happening to particle motion and thermalheat energy during melting?

Particle motion and thermal heat energy should both be increasing


What is the measure of energy of motion of particle of matter?

The measure of energy of motion of a particle of matter is called kinetic energy. It is calculated using the formula KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2, where mass is the mass of the particle and velocity is its speed.


What magnitude scale measures ground motion?

The Richter Scale is what measures the ground motion from an earthquake.


Which direction is the particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave?

The particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave is downward.


What are three types of a mechanical wave?

There are three general types of mechanical waves: – Transverse – particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. – Longitudinal – particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. – Combined – sea waves.


What is the simplest form of motion?

A stationary particle.


Why is the motion of one particle in a gas independent of the motion of the other particles?

In an ideal gas, particles are assumed to be point masses with no volume and no intermolecular forces acting between them. Therefore, the motion of one particle is independent of the motion of the other particles because they do not interact with each other. Each particle moves freely and randomly in all directions without influencing the motion of other particles.
