What do Sound Waves Travel by?
clusters of sound, set off by the vibrations all around us
Particles in the air that vibrate one way in the same direction
particles in the air that vibrate back and forth in the same direction
Air in the area, giving them a functional path
What is an S-wave?
A wave that shakes the ground back and forth, perpendicular to the direction the wave is going.
A wave that shakes the ground through sound waves
A wave that vibrates the ground through a series of shocks
A wave that shakes the ground back and forth, parallel to the direction the wave is going.
True or False:
A Compression is Crowded Areas in a Longitudinal Wave.
False
True
What is Seismology?
The study of earthquakes
The study of electric pulses in the earth
The study of sizes of materials
the study of sound waves
What is a P-Wave?
A wave that travels slowly through the earth, causing the earth to vibrate perpendicular, in the direction of the wave.
A wave that travels quickly through the earth, causing the earth to vibrate perpendicular, in the direction of the wave.
A wave that travels quickly through the earth, causing the earth to vibrate parallel, in the direction of the wave.
A wave that travels slowly through the earth, causing the earth to vibrate parallel, in the direction of the wave.
True or False:

True
False
What is Kinetic Energy?
The force of an object due to motion.
The energy of an object due to force.
The energy of the object due to motion.
the force of an object due to energy
What is Potential Energy?
Energy transferring into kinetic energy.
Energy transforming into motion.
Kinetic energy transferring to regular energy.
Energy transforming into kinetic energy
What is the effect of kinetic energy?
An object doubling its speed has four times as much kinetic energy.
Newtons 1st law
An object tripling its speed has six times as much kinetic energy.
Built up energy that bursts suddenly, like a shaken soda can.
What are some examples of Kinetic Energy Effect?
Pushing a box up a steep hill
Aftershocks from an earthquake
Waves at the beach
Having to stop your car sooner if your going faster
