1. Do the particles in the medium material move in the same direction of the wave or at opposite direction to the wave? Explain

your answer.
2. By inputting more energy into the wave, i.e a large shake of the spring, which wave property also increases?

1. Both

Assuming we are talking about a longitudinal wave (where particles oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), the answer is 'both'. In fact, waves consist of oscillations of the particles of a medium: in the case of the longitudinal waves, the particles oscillate back and forth, back and forth, continuosuly. This means that at some time they are moving forward, while at some time they are moving backward, with respect to the direction of the wave.


2. The amplitude

The energy of a wave is related to its amplitude. More specifically, the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude:

E\propto A^2

therefore, if the spring has a larger amplitude of oscillation, it also has more energy.


3. Yes

Forces of friction act while a mechanical wave passes through a medium. As a result, particles during the oscillations lose part of their energy: this means that the amplitude of the oscillations of the wave decrease over time, because the wave loses some energy. Eventually, if the friction lasts enough, the wave can lose all its energy.

A student grabs a piece of paper and tears it from the middle. Which statement best explains the forces involved?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

b. The normal force between the molecules of the paper is overcome by the contact force of the hands.

Explanation:

The paper molecules are held together by a weak bond. When the student holds the paper on both sides with the center of the paper in between, the student applies two equal forces in the opposite direction of the paper making the paper molecules weaken and separate.
