Answer;

Absorption

Explanation;

-Absorption of a wave in motion involves the transfer of the wave energy to a matter or an object as the wave passes through it.

-Transmission of a wave is when a wave is being carried through a given medium. Reflection is when a wave strikes off an object, it is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits the surface of an object. Refraction is the bending of the wave at a certain angle when transmitted to a material.

Answer from: jessicaflower277

The correct answer is absorption.

Explanation:

When a wave strikes an object then wave could be absorbed, transmitted, reflected and refracted.

When a wave travels from one medium to another medium then the transmission will take place.

When a wave is absorbed by an object then the absorption will occur.

When a wave strikes the object and it strikes off an object then reflection will occur.

When a wave gets bend at a certain angle while traveling from one medium to another then refraction will occur.

Therefore, the absorption occurs when an object takes in a wave as the wave hits it.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165) now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon. however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant. in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
