A child sits on a toboggan and slides down a hill with a particular acceleration. If another child joins the first one on the toboggan (doubling the mass), they will slide down the hill with the same acceleration but a larger force.

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line
