Why doesn't an object move forward as a wave passes under it?
The wave is not strong enough to move the object forward. It just passes along under the object and goes on its way.
what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
What happens to temp when particles are spread out and move rapidly?
Particles spread out and move rapidly due to the increase in temperature. Movement of particles is dependent on temperature...not the other way around.
Which way does the particles move in a ocean wave?
Perpendicular to the direction of the wave

How do waves travel?
there is several ways that waves can move. waves can move by wind. the energy passes to the water causing waves. The better answer. Waves move because they are a movement of energy through a medium. The wave entails two parts, which are the crest and trough. The wavelength is the distance between two crest. The wave height is the distance between a crest and trough.
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.

Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.

What way do solid particles move?
They vibrate.
When you listen to music do particles in air travel all the way from the stereo speaker to your ear?
No they do not. Sound moves in waves. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is rather hard to explain. In the diagram above the lines are closer together in some places than others, these areas move along from left to right as shown below | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you replace the lines with particles of air you can get a good idea of how sound waves move through the air. The air particles move for a bit when they get closer together but after the sound wave has passed they return to their original position, they don't move along with the wave.
What happens to the speed of sound when it passes through a solid?
It is reflected because of the way the particles are transmited
What happens to temp when particles are spread out and move rapidly?
Particles spread out and move rapidly due to the increase in temperature. Movement of particles is dependent on temperature...not the other way around.
How does the water in an ocean wave move?
Simple harmonic motion (up and down around a point of equilibrium). Water waves that crash onto a beach are not particles that come from way out in sea because water particles move up and down in one place (unless they have an outside and constant force applied to them). Water particles at the top of the ocean have both transversal and longitudinal motion.
