Sound is just a mechanical vibration of the particles which flows in all directions away from the source.
It can be reflected from objects or be absorbed...it depends on the type of material, and also its surface - probably a soft material with complicated surface, like wool, or cushion will absorb most of the sound, whereas a hard, compact object with a glazed surface, like glass or concrete, will reflect more.
What else can I help you with?
How does sound interact when it hits an object?
One thing we need to know is sound can get transferred only when it hits a medium(like air). The way it travels is by transfering the energy from one particle to the next and so on The sound wave has energy which it would transfer to the object. some part of this energy is tranferred through the object. Some is scattered in all directions
What does it look like when a sound wave hits an object?
When a sound wave hits an object, it causes the object to vibrate at the same frequency as the sound wave. This can sometimes be seen as the object physically moving, especially if the sound wave has a high intensity or frequency.
What happens to echolocation when it hits an object?
Echolocation is actually a process- it can't hit anything. In echolocation, high frequency sound waves are sent out by an animal. When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce off of it and reflect back to the animal. The animal can gather information about the object from these sound waves such as its size, shape, and distance.
What happens to the colors of light when white light hits an object?
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
What happens to the light when it hits a green object?
When light hits a green object, the object absorbs all the colors in the light spectrum except for green. Green is reflected off the object, which is why we perceive it as green. This reflection is what gives the object its color.

What happens when sound hits an object?
They are either absorbed [softsurface, e.g. wool] or refected [hard surface, e.g. metal]

What happens to sound as it gets farther away from the object making the sound?
It popes
What happens when sound hits soft materials?
generally speaking, the sound is absorbed.

What happens as an object falls from earth?
the velocity of the object increases until it hits the ground
What happens to the sound as it gets farther away from the object making the sound?
the sod makes a higher pitch

When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
What happens when an unstopable thing hits an unmovable object?
Chuck Norris dies!!
What happens an object falls?
It falls, accelerating constantly until it hits the ground.
What happens to the light when it hits a green object?
When light hits a green object, the object absorbs all the colors in the light spectrum except for green. Green is reflected off the object, which is why we perceive it as green. This reflection is what gives the object its color.
