Study Notes
Electrical Circuits
- Resistance decreases when more appliances are connected to one outlet
- The total current increases
- Overloading the circuit can cause wires to overheat, potentially setting combustible materials on fire
Sound Waves
Characteristics of Waves
- Sound waves are classified as longitudinal waves
- Longitudinal waves have different characteristics compared to transverse waves
Speed of Sound
- The speed of sound varies through different mediums (solids, liquids, and gases)
- The molecular structure of a material affects the speed of sound
- Temperature affects the speed of sound
- The speed of sound is affected by the density of the medium
Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Solids: very close intermolecular spacing, definite shape, cannot flow, not compressible, and densest
- Liquids: slightly farther intermolecular spacing, takes the shape of the container, able to flow, not compressible, and dense
- Gases: far apart intermolecular spacing, takes the shape of the container, able to flow, highly compressible, and low density
