They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound.( MECHANICAL IS THE SAME AS SOUND )]]> 2017-02-27 17:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156489491 Example lilianamunguia https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156491918 2017-02-27 17:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156491918 lilianamunguia https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156491970 We use sound waves on our everyday life. We use it to hear music our headphones or while talking to someone else .]]> 2017-02-27 17:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156491970 lilianamunguia https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156495520 2017-02-27 17:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156495520 How do we use mechanical waves as energy? lilianamunguia https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156496236 A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum. Slinky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope waves are other examples of mechanical waves; each requires some medium in order to exist. A slinky wave requires the coils of the slinky; a water wave requires water; a stadium wave requires fans in a stadium; and a jump rope wave requires a jump rope.

For example, one main application is the the military which we use the sonar.The sonar is a device capable of locating enemy ships and underwater obstacles through the use of Ultrasound. ]]> 2017-02-27 17:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lilianamunguia/ausd8kd3deto/wish/156497758
