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.


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.


Water in a wave move in a what but not very far forward?

Water in a wave moves in a circular motion, with the water particles moving in an orbital path and not moving very far forward as the wave passes through. This movement is a transfer of energy rather than a transfer of water mass.


What part of a wave moves forward?

The energy of a wave moves forward, causing the disturbance in the medium to propagate. This can be seen as the wave pattern moving through space.


Describe the motion of a buoy when a water wave passes. Does it move the buoy forward?

When a water wave passes, a buoy moves up and down with the wave motion, but it does not move forward with the wave. The buoy remains in the same location and oscillates in response to the passing wave, but it does not travel along with the wave.


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 is a wave that moves in the same direction as the forward motion wave?

A wave that moves in the same direction as the forward motion wave is called a trailing wave. Trailing waves typically occur behind a moving object, such as a boat or an airplane, and can impact the velocity and energy of the object.


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.


As energy moves in waves through the water where does the water move?

When any mechanical wave moves through it, the physical medium vibrates around its equilibrium positiion, but on the average over each complete vibration, it doesn't move to a different location.


Water in a wave moves what and what?

Well . . . boats, shallow swimmers and fish, and energy can all do that.


Matter in the medium moves forward and backward what is that called?

A wave.A wave.A wave.A wave.


Waves that move in one direction but wave in another direction?

Transverse waves move up and down or side to side, while longitudinal waves move in a forward and backward direction. In some cases, a wave can exhibit both transverse and longitudinal characteristics, such as a water wave where the water particles move in circular paths as the wave moves forward.
