A 2-kg object moving at 10 m/s has a 4-N force applied to it. Can you predict how the force will affect the object? A) yes, it will slow it down at a rate of 2 m/s2. B) yes, it will speed it up at a rate of 2 m/s2. yes, it will speed it up at a rate of 4 m/s2. D) It cannot be determined without more information.

1. do the particles in the medium material move in the same direction of the wave or at opposite direction to the wave? explain your answer. 2. by inputting more energy into the wave, i.e a large shake of the spring, which wave property also increases? 3. are there forces of friction acting while a wave is passing through a medium?
