Complete the passage to summarize factors affecting the speed of a wave. The material or substance that a wave moves through is called a . The medium affects the speed of the wave that passes through it. One factor that affects the speed of a wave is the of medium. Some waves move faster in solids and some waves move faster in liquids and gases. Another factor that affects wave speed is the of the medium.

Review multiple-concept example 7 in this chapter as an aid in solving this problem. in a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. in one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.626 m. at one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 66.1 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 12.6 rad/s. (a) find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.
