When a sound wave travels through air, how is this air affected by its passage

1 answer:

6 0

Sound is a mechanical wave <span>that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport. This is what characterizes sound waves in air as longitudinal waves.</span><span>

Answer:

B. twice as much kinetic energy

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the first marble =2 m

the mass of the second marble = m

We know that velocity of particle does not depends on their mass that is the velocity of both mass will be same after dropping from the roof.

We know that kinetic energy of a mass is given as

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2$
