That varies, depending on the type of waves - e.g., water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, etc.

What forces causes the spring to be stretched?

External force or you can say deformation force causes spring to stretch and restoring force is developed due to introduction of restoring strain in spring to restore in its original shape.


When waves travel through water why do the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position?

The moving water particles return to their starting position due to the restoring force provided by surface tension and gravity. The energy from the wave causes the particles to oscillate but the restoring force brings them back to equilibrium position.


What causes waves other than wind?

Waves can also be caused by gravitational forces from the moon and sun (tidal waves), earthquakes (tsunamis), underwater landslides, and volcanic eruptions. These phenomenon can disturb the water's surface and create waves that can travel long distances.


How are forces energy and waves related?

Forces can transfer energy through the movement of particles or objects. Waves are disturbances that transfer energy through a medium or space. Forces can create waves, such as in the case of sound waves or ocean waves, which propagate through a medium by the transfer of energy.


What property of waves causes bridges to buckle?

Resonance is the property of waves that can cause bridges to buckle. If the frequency of the external forces matches the natural frequency of the bridge, resonance can occur, leading to large amplitude vibrations that can weaken and ultimately damage the structure.

What is the restoring force of a water wave at the ocean surface?

Let's define restoring force first: A force that tends to restore a disturbed ocean surface to a flat configuration (Intro. to Ocean Science, Douglas Segar). So a restoring force works against a wave. Those forces are gravity, surface tension, and the Coriolis effect. Gravity is the primary restoring force for most waves. Surface tension tends to acts more prevalently on capillary waves (tiny wave heights). The Coriolis effect, which is not actually a "force," is the main restoring force for waves with long periods such as tides.
