Introduction What is Sound? Sound is produced by vibrating objects. Vibrations cause compressions [high pressure] and rarefactions [low pressure]. Sound waves travel through a medium like this. Sound waves are longitudinal i.e. individual particles of a medium move in a …
Introduction This is either contact [friction, muscular] or non-contact [magnetic, electrostatic, gravitational, pressure] Pressure Pressure is inversely related to the area. So smaller the area, the larger the pressure for the same force. Pressure and its real applications E.g. Nail …
