What is the difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave? Give an example of each.
Longitudinal wave : The direction of the wave (velocity) is parallel to the direction of the medium particles. Example: when you stretch a spiral string and release it.

Transverse wave: The direction of the wave (velocity) is perpendicular to the direction of the medium particles. Example is a string cord attached to the wall from one end, while you are moving the other end up and down. A wave will be created moving horizontally, while the medium particles (the string) will be moving up and down (vertically). Another example of transverse waves is the Electromagnetic waves.

(Refers to changes after you select "custom" from the menu. check figure 2.2 in the lab procedure) . While you try to mimic the sinking/floating behaviors of A, then B, then C. Which slider did you need to change? Could A, B, and C be made out of the same material? Why or why not? Which object (A, B, or C) must have the most mass? Which has the second most mass? Which has the least amount of mass?
I must change the mass' slider while keeping the volume the same. Since they all share the same volume, block B has the most mass while A has the least mass. They cannot have the same material because they have different densities as evidenced by the different sinking/floating behavior.

The output voltage will depend on the number of turns ratio.

In the experiment, after you placed the hot sample in the cold water (in the Styrofoam cup), the temperature of the water changed by 3 degree Celsius (from 22 to 25 C), while the sample temperature changed by 75 degree Celsius (from 100 to 25 C). Why did the water undergo small change in the temperature, while the sample undergo huge change in the temperature?
The sample must have low specific heat, so its temperature is very sensitive to heat exchange. While the water has high specific heat, so its temperature is resistive to heat exchange.
If two materials have two different specific heat values, which material's temperature is more sensitive to heat exchange when they are exposed to the same amount of heat, the higher or the lower specific heat material?
The temperature of the material with lower specific heat value is more sensitive to heat exchange

Note that the blue moving dots represent the electrons (note their speed). Share the new things you learned about electric circuits from this activity (around two paragraphs).
While exploring the Phet Circuit Construction lab, I discovered many new things about electric circuits from this activity.

I also noticed that I can put conductors in between the wire and still have the circuit work. In order to build the most basic circuit, I would need to include a battery, in other words a power source, a wire to conduct the electricity, and a lightbulb. In addition, I learned that a switch isn't necessary for a basic circuit but without it will continue to drain the battery unit until the battery is removed.
