If an oscillating object is subjected to small impulses of the same frequency as the object's natural frequency of oscillation, its amplitude will build up rapidly, depending on how much damping is present. This is caused resonance.

What is amplitude of oscillation?

Amplitude of oscillation is the maximum displacement of a vibrating or oscillating object from its equilibrium position. It represents the maximum distance the object moves from its resting position during one complete cycle of motion.


Why do things move steadily in space?

In space, objects move steadily due to inertia, which is the tendency of objects to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Without air resistance or other forces to slow them down, objects in space will continue moving steadily on their own inertia.

What physics principle is used when pumping your legs in rhythm with the natural frequency of a swing?

Resonance - when pumping a swing in rhythm with its natural frequency, it produces larger amplitudes.(def. - occurs when the frequency of a vibration forced on an object matches the object's natural frequency and a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs)


What are the forces that attract the molecules of a liquid to a different compound usually a solid are called?

These forces are called adhesion forces.


In an electromagnet the magnetic forces increase as this increase?

In an electromagnet, the magnetic forces increase as the current flowing through the coil increases. This is because the magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the coil.


Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces?

Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.


Why do you need to increase friction?

To decrease the forces that opposes motion


What are forces between molecules in a solid called?

all such forces are intermolecular forces.


Why boiling point of noble gases increase down in the group?

The melting and boiling points increase down the group because of thevan der Waals forces. The size of the molecules increases down the group. This increase in size means an increase in the strength of the van der Waals forces.
