Sound
Alberse, in the strictest sense sound is a compressional wave that produces a sensation in the human ear
what are the 4 attributes of sound?
pitch, loudness, quality, and duration
compressional wave
in order for something to make a sound it needs to vibrate to make sound
what are the two properties that something must have to make sound?
mass and elasticity
medium
through which sound is transmitted
mass
amount of matter present which is capable of vibratory motion
weight
gravitational force exerted on a force
mass
is a quantifiable amount
elasticity
property of all matter be it solid, liquid, or gas which allows it to undergo distortion in either shape or volume when force is applied
elastic limit
the point at which the mass is unable to return to its original form after distortion
equilibrium (E)
the state of rest
amplitude
going to be dependent on the amount of force
greater the force the greater the displacement
Newton First Law of Motion
all body’s remain at rest or in uniform motion unless another force acts in remission
inertia
nothing more than the tendency of body to stay in motion tendency of body at rest to stay at rest
Newton Third Law
for every force there must be equal associated in recreational force
________ and ___________ are no longer able to work together in relationship
mass and elasticity
cycle
equilibrium to point of maximum displacement in 1 direction through equilibrium to maximum displacement in opposite direction to equilibrium
what happens when a force is applied to molecules?
each molecules is equal distance from each other, exerting equal pressure on each other never touching each other
density
amount of mass per unit volume
change of density
it changes because of density
compression
the reduction in volume (causing an increase in pressure) of the fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine before ignition.
rarefraction
air rebounds have fewer air molecules there is a decrease in air pressure fewer than at equilibrium
when we introduce a vibrating source to a median that sound is transmitted through median in
alternating compression and rarefaction
