You can investigate how the size of the surface area affects friction by putting a single 500g mass on the friction block and finding the friction force. Now turn the block on its edge (reducing the surface area by
a factor of at least 4) and CAREFULLY place the 500g mass on the top edge. Measure the friction force.
Does the different surface area make a SIGNIFICANT difference? Note: you've changed the surface
area by 400%-500%.
Why do you think this may be?

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line
