To set up a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring, you would need to displace one end of the spring from its equilibrium position, creating a compression or rarefaction. This disturbance would propagate longitudinally through the spring as adjacent particles push or pull on each other. The wave would continue to travel along the spring until it reaches the other end.

How would you create a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring?

To create a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring, you would need to apply a force at one end of the spring so that it compresses and then release it so that it expands. This compression and expansion will propagate as a longitudinal wave through the spring.


When a longitudinal wave carries energy through a spring the area where the coils of spring are closer together than they would be in the rest position is called?

Compression


What goes back to its original shape after being streched and is used in force meters?

That would be a spring, which is stretched when you apply force to it. The spring used have a specific force constant, which means that an extension of the spring to a certain length is equal to a fixed amount of force.


How long does the large intestine stretch?

About 1.5 meters in length.


What happens to the particle in a spring when a longitudinal wave passes along it?

That would depend on many factors. Length, thickness, density, resonance....too many factors to take a stab at an answer.


Is pronation a movement around the longitudinal axis?

No, pronation is not a movement around the longitudinal axis. Pronation refers to the inward rotation of the forearm or foot. Rotation around the longitudinal axis would involve spinning or twisting along the length of the body.


What would you look for in order to determine whether a wave is longitudinal?

compression and rarefraction


What type of wave would a slinky represent?

A slinky represents a longitudinal wave, where the disturbance is parallel to the direction of energy transfer. When you compress or expand the coils of the slinky, the disturbance travels through the slinky as a longitudinal wave.


Which research design would best fit James' study of children?

longitudinal design


How would you hit the metal rod to create a longitudinal wave?

To create a longitudinal wave in a metal rod, you would need to strike the rod at one end with a quick and abrupt force. This force will generate compressions and rarefactions in the material, causing the longitudinal wave to propagate through the rod.


The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?

The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. This results in a series of compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.


What type of wave is produced when the particles of the medium are vibrating to and fro in the same direction of wave propagation?

That would be a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.
