Learning Task 5: Create a wave box that demonstrates how earthquake waves
can travel through a variety of materials as they travel away from the
focus of an earthquake where the rocks first rupture,
All earthquakes produce p waves and S waves.
P waves travel through solids, liquids and gases. In this
simple science experiment, you will see how P waves travel
through different solids causing paper clips on a string to
vibrate.
Materials:
Box, String, Paper clips, Nail or ice pick
Procedures:
NIYON
1. Remove one side of a cardboard box.
2. Punch a hole in the top and bottom of the box using a
nail or ice pick
3. Tie a string so it runs from the top of the box to the
bottom of the box.
4. Start by tying a string to a paper clip on the outside of the box at the top.
5. Thread the string through the bottom of the box and tie the string to a paper
clip on the bottom of the box.
6. Place 4 or 5 paper clips on the string inside the box.
7. Place the box on a table or some other object you can strike to make it
vibrate.
8. Strike the table hard enough to cause energy waves to travel through it to the
box.
9. Move your box to another surface and see if you can make the paper clips
vibrate on these surfaces.
10. Change the experiment by using a different thickness of string.
11. Change the experiment by using different sizes of paper clips.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What will happen to the paper clips if you have struck the table hard enough
2. Why does vibrations create sound?
no
Answers
Answer:
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What will happen to the paper clips if you have struck the table hard enough
If you have struck the table hard enough the paper clips will start to vibrate back and forth. Move your box to other surface and see if you can make the paper clips vibrate on these surfaces. 2. Why does vibrations create sound?
Sound waves are formed when a vibrating object causes the surrounding medium to vibrate. A medium is a material (solid, liquid or gas) which a wave travels through. As sound waves move through a medium the particles vibrate forwards and backwards. ... So the nearer you are to a sound the louder it sounds to us
Explanation:
Answer:
1. if you struck the table hard enough the paper clips will go back and forth make a vibration.
2. vibrations can create sounds as it is a sound itself
