Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?

A. Resonance occurs as a result of sympathetic vibrations.

B. A non-vibrating object can begin to vibrate as a result of forced vibrations.

C. Two bodies with the same vibration frequency that are placed next to each other will exhibit sympathetic vibrations as one body causes the other to vibrate.

D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body.

I'm sure it is D if i remember my Physics correctly

Brooks Duran · Answer 2

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate
