MEDIUM 1 - water balloons
1. What are the characteristics of this medium?
2. What would happen to your hand when holding water balloon after the balloon was struck with a hammer? (assume it does not break)
3. Is this medium good for energy propagation, prove it through supporting references. (pg number)
MEDIUM 2 - hard baseballs
1. What are the characteristics of this medium?
2. What would happen to your hand when holding a baseball after being struck with a hammer? Did you feel more pressure when compared to the water balloon? why?
3. Is this medium good for energy propagation, prove it through supporting references.
Part II
1.If stiffness of the medium increases and the time remains unchanged, what happens to the distance?
2.If the compressibility of the medium decreases and distance remains unchanged, what happens to the time?
3.If the bulk modulus decreases and all other factors remain the same, what happens to the velocity?
4.If the density decreases and all other factors remain the same, what happens to the velocity?
5.If stiffness decreases and time decreases, what happens to the distance?
