Wave
What is wave?
Many earthquakes happen in places such as Indonesia. How? It is caused by the vibration that is deep inside the Earth, which leads to shaking the surface. This vibration does not happen only where the original place of the earthquake is which are deep inside the Earth, but it spreads, creating waves that eventually reaches the surface and shaking it. Seismic waves are not the only waves that exist, but sunlight, sound and cell-phone signal uses waves also to move to other places.
Elements of wave
Similar to the vibration section of physics, waves also have terms and conventions. Those are transverse waves and longitudinal waves
Transverse wave
Transverse waves happen on a rope or
on water. Transverse waves are always in a form of a peak and a valley of the wave. The height of the peak and the valley is considered as the amplitude of the wave. A complete wave is always consists of one peak and one valley of the wave. A complete wave is called a wave-length.
Longitudinal Waves
Longitudinal waves are waves that have a compression part and a expansion part, instead of a peak or valley. A complete wave of a longitudinal wave consists of one compression part and one expansion part. The length of a longitudinal wave is equal to the length of a wave that consists of a compression part and a expansion part.
Examples
1 complete wave = a - b - c - d - e
It consists one peak (a) and one valley (c)
A to B= 1/4 wave
A to C= 1/2 wave
A to D= 3/4 wave
A to E= 1 full wave
A to F = a - b - c - d - e - f = 1 1/4 waves
A to H = a - b - c - d - e - f- g - h = 1 3/4 waves

Frequency, Period, and Amplitude
Frequency: The number of vibration in 1 second.
Period: The number of time needed to achieve a 1 full vibration.
Amplitude: The distance between the maximum position of a vibration and the balanced position of a vibration.
The SI unit for frequency is Hz ( Hertz)
While the SI unit for a period is s (Second)
n: The number of motion of a vibration t: Time
Formula of frequency: n/t
Formula of period: t/n
Question
1. What is the frequency: 15 vibration --> 3 second?

Vibration
What is vibration?
Vibration is when an object's motion is moving back and forth, passing through its balanced position. What's meant by back and forth is when in one moment, the object moves away from its balanced position, and in another moment it will eventually move towards the balanced position, and so on it will continue.
Examples
One of the example of vibration is when you put a ruler in the end of a table. Most of the ruler is off the table. When the part of the ruler which is off the table is pushed, then it will create a vibration movement.
How to know the motion of a vibration?
A pendulum is swung at back and forth and is seen as it is going from the left to the right. If the pendulum is moving in one vibration, what would its motion be?
The motion is: A - B - C - B - A
A motion of one vibration is always 4 counts, and we do not count the first one as it is the original position of the object and where the vibration starts from.
Other examples of vibration motions
A vibration motion of.......
1/2 Motion: A-B-C
1 Motion: A-B-C-B-A
2 1/4 Motion: A-B-C-B-A-B-C-B-A-B
2 3/4 Motion: A-B-C-B-A-B-C-B-A-B-C-B

Answer for Work and Energy Worksheet No. 10
10. A girl pushes her little brother on his sled with a force of 300 N for 750. m. How much
work is this if the force of friction acting on the sled is
(a) 200 N,
(b) 300 N?
(a). W = F x D
W = (300 - 200) x 750
W = 100 x 750
W = 75000J
(b). W = F x D
W = (300 - 300) x 750
W = 0 x 750
W = 0. It the sled doesn't move

4. A husky dog does 20 kJ of work as he pulls a sleigh with a force of 340 N. Through what
distance does he pull it?
Work = F x D
distance does he pull it?
Work = F x D
20kj = 340n x D
20000 = 340n x D

Work In Physics
Work in physics is basically like this, if you use force to move objects and it moves, you are doing a work. Either it is a pull or a push, if its moving you're doing a work. One of the examples is when you kick a ball. You kick it forward, and the ball move forward. But if you don't use a force to move something, there is no work, the object are at rest. Or if you use force to move something but the object is still at rest, the object doens't move, there is no work at all. Example: If you try to move a tractor or a wall, it won't move at all because you're not strong enough. Another thing that doesn't create a work is that if you push something forward but it go to another direction. The SI unit of force is J or joules.
Formula of work : W = F x D OR Work = Force Times Distance
W: work
F= Force
D= Distance
Example: if you kick a ball with 200N with the distance of 100m, how much work done by the force acting on the object?
Work = Force x Distance
Work = 200N x 100m
Work = 20000J
Formula of work : W = F x D OR Work = Force Times Distance
W: work
F= Force
D= Distance
Example: if you kick a ball with 200N with the distance of 100m, how much work done by the force acting on the object?
Work = Force x Distance
Work = 200N x 100m
Work = 20000J
