Answer 1

As a wave moves past a point in the ocean, water molecules move up and down as the wave goes by. They also move in another way. Which describes this second type of movement of water molecules?

A.
They move forward with the wave.

B.
They move in a circular motion.

C.
They move backwards, toward the direction they came from.

D.
They stay still.

can you help me

Answer 4

help me

Answer 5

please

Answer 6

My best guess is A, since they would be pushed by the wave, then dragged back, but not to their original position, but instead out to sea.

Answer 7

Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported. Proof of this is the fact that there is still water in the middle of the ocean. The water has not moved from the middle of the ocean to the shore. If we were to observe a gull or duck at rest on the water, it would merely bob up-and-down in a somewhat circular fashion as the disturbance moves through the water. The gull or duck always returns to its original position. The gull or duck is not transported to the shore because the water on which it rests is not transported to the shore. In a water wave, energy is transported without the transport of water.

When a wave is present in a medium (that is, when there is a disturbance moving through a medium), the individual particles of the medium are only temporarily displaced from their rest position. There is always a force acting upon the particles that restores them to their original position. In a slinky wave, each coil of the slinky ultimately returns to its original position. In a water wave, each molecule of the water ultimately returns to its original position. And in a stadium wave, each fan in the bleacher ultimately returns to its original position. It is for this reason, that a wave is said to involve the movement of a disturbance without the movement of matter. The particles of the medium (water molecules, slinky coils, stadium fans) simply vibrate about a fixed position as the pattern of the disturbance moves from one location to another location.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 8

From the information that @AmazingApples00 provided, It would be B or D.

Answer 9

I am leaning more towards B. Choose that one and let us know if it is correct. @wilston123

Answer 10

Oh, wilston is offline. :/

Answer 11

I agree with Secret-Ninja. B makes more sense after reading the information of @AmazingApples00

Answer 12

@wilston123 Was it correct?
