A change in the medium through which the wave is traveling, like a change in material or temperature, can affect the speed of a mechanical wave. Additionally, a change in the tension or density of the medium can also impact the wave speed.

Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


Which of the following would be a change in velocity but not in speed?

Velocity is a vector quantity, i.e. it consists of two measures, one is speed, the other is direction. If the speed remains constant then a change in direction would alter the velocity. (you didn't list any examples)


What is the magnitude of average velocity?

The magnitude of average velocity is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken, regardless of the direction. It gives the overall speed at which an object has moved over a certain period.


Is it true or false that a body traveling at constant speed changes its direction without a change in its velocity?

False. A body traveling at constant speed does not change its velocity, which includes both speed and direction. Therefore, in order to change direction, the body would need to change its velocity, which also involves changing its speed.


Acceleration is a change in speed or?

Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.

What is mechanical wearthering?

Mechanical weathering is the process of weathering that causes disintegration in rocks but does not change the chemical compound of the rocks. Things like frost, rivers, and tree roots cause mechanical weathering. A large example of this would be the Grand Canyon in Arizona.


Would a turbine be a chemical or physical change?

Turbine is not a change, a turbine is a mechanical device.

mostly the tps or throttle positioning sensor. it would be a good idea to change that


Are there any fuses that would cause the transmission not to reverse?

No. That is mechanical, not electric.

Why does your transmission not change from second to third and your speedometer doesnt work also in your 1994 Chrysler new yorker?

A very common cause would be the output speed sensor. It is on the driver side rear of the transmission.A very common cause would be the output speed sensor. It is on the driver side rear of the transmission.


How do you remove a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero speed governor?

I believe that there is no mechanical speed governor. It is controlled by the PCM which you would have to reprogram to increase the limit.


What would have to be true for the velocity to be constant?

the speed would have to change.


What must cause acceleration when a car is moving a constant speed and why?

Acceleration is scientifically defined as a change in velocity, not an increase in speed. Thus slowing down, speeding up, or changing direction are all forms of accelerating. If one is moving at a constant speed, then the only way to accelerate would be to change direction.


Would a Vehicle Speed Sensor cause the cruise control on a 2001 Eclipse to surge?

Yes it would because it also controls the speedometer and odometer, change it and that should fix your problem.
