primary wave
That depends on the type of matter. Say, for example, the matter is a chair that you are moving. Then the matter would move in the direction in which you are pushing (or pulling, throwing, etc). If you define matter as a particule (such as an atom), then it would depend on the type of particle. Different particles move in different ways, depending on the type. If you are asking about particules moving as a smaller, less substantial unit (such as a neuronal transmission) then the pattern would be linear. But the broad answer really is that it depends on the type of matter.
The same type as is done when pushing, shoving, rolling, lifting, wiggling etc. ... a force acting through a distance.
cosmic , x-ray and gamma
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
That is a longitudinal wave.

Magnetic
Sound travels through all matter.

It depends on the type of kart. Rental karts - pulling cord Clutch karts - pulling cord or power button Direct drive karts - pushing

Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
No. When sound is created the air molecules move but they don't go very far because they collide with the air in front of them. This makes those air molecules move which pushes the air in front of them, which pushes the air in front of them etc. etc.. So it is really the "pushing" that travels to your ear, not the original air molecules. Pulling the air also happens but its harder to explain in a few sentences. So what reaches your ear is a pushing - pulling type motion. But again, the original air molecules don't travel very far.
