They move back and forth - in this case, along the direction in which the wave advanced.
The type of wave that passes through the spring in the frog toy is a longitudinal wave. This is because the particles of the spring vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, causing compressions and rarefactions to travel through the material.
When a longitudinal wave is sent along the spring, the particles of the ribbon will oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the ribbon will compress and expand alternatively as the wave passes through it, giving the appearance of movement along the spring in the direction of the wave. The particles themselves do not actually move in this direction; they simply oscillate about their equilibrium positions.
No, in a longitudinal wave, the energy is transferred through the compression and rarefaction of the medium particles, rather than being absorbed by the spring. The spring may help transmit the wave, but it does not absorb the energy of the wave.
Waves on a spring are mechanical waves, specifically longitudinal waves. This means that the particles in the medium (spring) oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling.
When each portion of a coil spring is alternatively compressed and extended, a longitudinal wave is produced. Longitudinal waves propagate in the same direction as the direction of the vibration of the particles of the medium.

That would depend on many factors. Length, thickness, density, resonance....too many factors to take a stab at an answer.
To set up a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring, you would need to displace one end of the spring from its equilibrium position, creating a compression or rarefaction. This disturbance would propagate longitudinally through the spring as adjacent particles push or pull on each other. The wave would continue to travel along the spring until it reaches the other end.
Longitudinal waves are waves where the vibration of the particles is parallel to the direction of travel of the wave for eg sound is longitudinal wave. Stationary waves are produced when two or more progressive waves of the same frequency and amplitude pass through each other.
To create a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring, you would need to apply a force at one end of the spring so that it compresses and then release it so that it expands. This compression and expansion will propagate as a longitudinal wave through the spring.
In longitudinal waves in a spring, the parts where the particles are closest together are called compressions, while the parts where the particles are farthest apart are called rarefactions. These alternating compressions and rarefactions create the wave motion that travels through the medium.
When electric current passes through a spring, the spring can become magnetized. The magnetic field generated by the current induces a magnetic field in the spring, causing it to act like a magnet. This magnetic property can be harnessed in various applications, such as in electromagnets or speakers.
