100
Needed for cycles of vibration
What are compression and rarefaction?
100
Because of this, some systems require greater or lesser amount of air force to move them

200
The push or pull on the mass
What is force?
200
measure of distance

200
Stored energy related to position

200
Consists of alternative regions of increased density and decreased density
What is wave propagation?
200
Inversely related to stiffness 
What is compliance?
300

The ability of mass to resist and recover from changes in shape, volume, or position

What is elasticity?
300

M,K,S (3 physical measurement systems)

What is meter, kilogram, second?
300
Causes kinetic energy to be transformed to thermal energy
What is frictional resistance?
300
Moves back and forth because of inertia and elasticity
What are molecules?
300
A good way to visualize these concepts
What are spring systems?
400

A vector quantity that includes both direction and magnitude

What is amplitude?
400
C,G,S (3 physical measurement systems)
What is centimeter, gram, second?
400
Refers to diminishing amplitude over time due to opposing forces
What is damping?
400
Are needed in order for a sound to begin and propagate
What are a medium and a sound source?
400
Determined by stiffness/compliance of the system
What is elasticity?
500
The tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or a body in motion to remain at motion until a force acts in opposition
What is inertia?
500

F,P,S (3 physical measurement systems)

What is feet, pound, second?
500
Is not depleted, but changed from one form to another
What is energy?
500
Needed in a medium in order for sound to vibrate
What are mass and elasticity?
500
Systems with this have low compliance
What is more stiffness?
