Answer from: alexxreyess03

As a wave passes through a medium it causes the vibration of particles of the medium.

The motion of the particles is similar to the motion of a mass on a spring because both vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the propagation.

When a wave passes through a medium is transfers energy to the particles of the medium causing the particles to vibrate due to the disturbance of the waves.

The vibration of the particles can be transverse or longitudinal.The vibration is transverse when the direction is perpendicular.The vibration is longitudinal when the direction is parallel.

The motion of the particles is similar to the motion of a mass on a spring because both vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the propagation.

Answer from: lorelaistudent

As they vibrate, they pass the disturbance of energy to the particles next to them, which passes the energy to the particles next to them, and so on.Energy travels down the spring and reflected like the motion of a mass on a spring.

Explanation:

Particle motion is the superposition of a large component due to the fluid drag toward the filter barrier and a random component due to Brownian motion. The particles of the medium just vibrate in place. As they vibrate, they pass the unsettling influence of energy to the particles beside them, which passes the energy to the particles by them, etc. Energy goes down the spring and reflected like the movement of a mass on a spring.

Answer from: Quest

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

Athin plate moves between two parallel, horizontal, stationary flat surfaces at a constant velocity of v = 7.5 m/s. the two stationary surfaces are spaced 4 cm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose viscosity is 0.9 n·s/m2. the part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2 m long and 0.5 m wide. if the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this motion. what would your response be if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top surface (h1)? if the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, the force required to maintain the motion will be n. if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top (h1) surface, the force required to maintain the motion would be n.
