It depends on the objects chemical composition.
Answer:
As the particles move further away from their normal position (up towards the wave crest or down towards the trough), they slow down.
Explanation:
This means that some of their kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy – the energy of particles in a wave oscillates between kinetic and potential energy. Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)
What you need to know is that the force is
F=ma
The force is the product of mass and acceleration
this means that the acceleration is
a=F/m
a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be

now:
a=

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)
b) The object's mass is halved?
a=

=a=

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double
c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have
a=

=a=

=a=

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!
Answer:
Explanation:
4.95s≈5s
Use equation :
h=G*t²/2
h=120m ----hight of cliff
G=9.81m/s²
t=?
-----------------------
h=G*t²/2
120m=9.81m/s²*t²/2
240m=9.81m/s²*t²
t²=240m/ 9.81m/s²
t²=24.46s
t=√24.46s²
t=4.95 s≈5s
