Electromagnetic waves
Front
Are transverse waves that transfer energy from a source to an absorber. They travel through air or vacuum at the same speed. there are a variety that increase in frequency overtime.
Back
Velocity
Front
speed of an object and its direction of motion; changes when speed, direction or both changes
Back
Force
Front
A push or pull on an object that can cause a change in movement
Back
Balanced Force
Front
Two forces in opposite directions. Net force is zero and the motion of the object does not change.
Back

Sound waves
Front
These are caused by vibrating objects. These are passed through the surrounding area as a series of compressions an rarefactions. These travel faster in more solid states of matter as it is more easier to vibrate the particles to make sound if there close together, rather than far apart. This is why in a vacuum, where there are no particle's there is no sound
