What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
Why isn't a pendulum a wave?
It is a wave like because the curve it makes is the amplitude as that of wave
Is the wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?
Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
Why do the particles which the wave travels and the direction the wave travels relate each other?
It depends on whether the wave is a transversal or longitudinal wave. A transversal wave has particles in the medium oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the wave's direction. This is the case in for example water wave; the water moves up and down, but the wave moves forward. A longitudinal wave has the particles moving backwards and forwards in same direction the wave travels. This is the case in ordinary sound waves. You can see (or feel) this yourself when you look at the skin of a subwoofer making sounds (it is clearer when it is producing tones with a low pitch).
What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
What moves forward in waves?
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
What type of wave does the snake 's body make as the snake moves forward. explain?
A snake's body make a transverse wave as the snake moves forward.
What type of wave does the snake body make as the snake moves?
A snake's body make a transverse wave as the snake moves forward.
What moves forward in a wave while particles in the wave remain in the same place?
Energy. Each particle of water moves around in a circle. Energy moves forward while water particles remain in the same place.
Matter in the medium moves forward and backward what is that called?
A wave.A wave.A wave.A wave.
The wave crest of light waves are to the direction the wave travels?
Perpendicular. Light wave moves forward, the crests move at right angles to the wave
Water in a wave move in a what but not very far forward?
It moves in a circle. Transferring energy.
Why isn't a pendulum a wave?
It is a wave like because the curve it makes is the amplitude as that of wave
What type of wave do the contractions of the snakes muscles make the snake moves forward?
A transverse wave. The snake moves up and down in a transverse way type of motion....... but it does NOT compress which means it isn't a longitudinal wave. : )Everyone get a Twitter! Fan Bella Thorne... I

What are the part of human skeleton that moves forward and backward?
your whole body and your heart.
