The wave traveling along a bullwhip is simply a mechanical wave. It's like the wave that travels along a jump rope or a fly fishing line when it's being cast. The user accelerates the handle of the bullwhip forward, and the rest of the whip moves along in response.

It should be noted that the sudden reversal of the tip of the whip is what accelerates the end to supersonic speed. This creates the small sonic boom which we know as the crack! of the bullwhip. All of this action is the result of mechanical forces, or mechanics.
