Understanding waves typically don't displace atoms but momentarily and then they move back into place, my intuition tells me that if a pressure wave on a certain gas meets a slightly different gas but with a similar density, the different gas wouldn't move dramatically due to the pressure wave...

If a force acting on an object displaces the object, then why do we calculate the work done by all the forces acting on the body (those which did not cause the body to move as well as the force which caused the body to move) instead of the work done only by the force responsible for the...

I know two methods as to how to do this, but one of them doesn't seem to work. Say you're given x = 3t^2 + 6t - 4. If you treat x as an unknown variable and movie it over to the other side, you can use completing the square to solve for t. This eventually gets you: t = 1/3*sqrt(3(x+7)) - 1 Then...
