Know the Answer?

Nikolas Terrell · Answer 1

The answer is B because the particles in a wave bounce on each other causing the particles in front to keep going until it has been absorbed by another object.

Isabel Vargas · Answer 2

I believe the answer would be B - the toy car would hit another toy car that would in turn hit another toy car, and so on. A wave has a ripple effect, so it will continue to happen down the line, until there is a force that stops it, or there are no more cars to hit.
