Chapter 1 Flashcards
The ability to do work; measured in joules or newton-meter
Energy
Study of sound
Acoustics
Includes density and elasticity
Mass
How close molecules are
Density
Stiffness
Elasticity
rate/movement (meters/ second)
Velocity
how far an object moves in a given direction in a stated amount of time
Velocity
What are the 3 opposing forces that affect motion?
Friction, inertia, Elasticity
force that resists the movement of an object
Friction
a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion
Intertia
force related to springiness, the tendency of an object to snap back to its original shape
Elasticity
the random & three-dimensional motion of air molecules when there is no sound forcing them to vibrate
Brownian motion
Form of energy that needs a medium that has mass and stiffness; can be generated and transmitted in or through any medium
Sound
Areas in the wave where the air molecules are pushed close together and so at a slightly higher pressure
Compression
What happens to the air molecules as density increases?
Become closer together
