Answer:
2.The density of air increases and thendecreases as the sound wave passes.
Explanation:
Sound waves are mechanical waves, which consist of oscillation of the particles in the medium where the wave is transmitted through.
Sound waves are also longitudinal waves, which means that the direction of oscillations of the particles of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave (so, essentially back and forth).
Due to the nature of longitudinal waves, they create alternating regions of the medium where the density of particles are higher and lower. The former are called compressions, while the latter are called rarefactions.
Therefore, when a sound wave travels through the air, the density of one region of air continuously changes: compression first (high density), rarefaction then (lower density), then compression again, etc..
Answer:
The more mass a body has the more inertia it has. If the roller coaster is moving, it will want to keep moving, along the direction of motion, unless something causes it to speed up or slow down. This resistance of the moving roller coaster to changing its velocity is another example of its inertia.
A person's mass would not change before, during, or after a trip to Saturn, unless he gained or lost some weight as a result of unrelated eating habits, because mass doesn't depend on an object's location, gravitational environment, color, cost,
texture, temperature, political affiliation or gender orientation.
