Use a caliper to determine the diameter of a ping-pong ball, and then calculate the volume of the ping-pong ball. Determine the weight of the ping-pong ball. Determine the buoyant force that would act on the ping-pong ball when it is completely submerged in water. Compare the buoyant force on the ping-pong ball to the weight of the ping-pong ball. Use this comparison to explain why a ping-pong ball floats.

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
