its the particles in the water
When a water wave passes, a buoy moves up and down with the wave motion, but it does not move forward with the wave. The buoy remains in the same location and oscillates in response to the passing wave, but it does not travel along with the wave.
The water particles in a wave move in circular motion as the wave passes by, causing the float to go up and down but not forward. The overall motion of the wave is not in the direction of the float, so it does not carry the float forward with it.
No, the wave itself does not directly move the boat forward. The wave creates an oscillation in the water that can cause the boat to rock or shift slightly, but the boat's forward motion is primarily generated by its engine or propulsion system.
Water does not move with a wave believe it or not. It moves up and down with the wave but a wave is just energy moving through something.
Transverse waves move up and down or side to side, while longitudinal waves move in a forward and backward direction. In some cases, a wave can exhibit both transverse and longitudinal characteristics, such as a water wave where the water particles move in circular paths as the wave moves forward.
In an ocean wave, the water molecules move in a circular motion. As the wave passes through, water molecules move in an elliptical path, with no net forward movement. The energy of the wave is what is being transferred, not the water molecules themselves.
In a transverse wave, a molecule/particle will move up and down, with double the amplitude of the wave. In a longitudinal wave, the molecule/particle will move side to side, equal to the wavelength (?) of the wave
No, water molecules in a wave don't move horizontally. In a wave, water molecules move in a circular motion, with energy being transferred through the water column in a vertical direction. The forward motion of a wave is due to the energy being transmitted through the water, rather than the actual movement of individual water molecules horizontally.
In an ocean wave, water particles move in circular motion as the wave passes by. As the wave travels through the water, the particles move in a circular orbital path - initially forward and then back to their original position. The motion decreases in amplitude with depth, becoming negligible at depths greater than half the wavelength of the wave.
Transverse wave
No, ocean waves involve the transfer of energy through the water, causing circular motion in the water particles. While the energy of the wave can travel great distances, individual water particles mostly move in circular orbits as the wave passes.
An object may not move forward as a wave passes under it because the wave's energy is focused on propagating through the medium (such as water or air) rather than exerting a force on the object. The wave causes the medium to move in a circular or up-and-down motion, which is not directly transferred to the object above it.
