Why is a wave pulse traveling on a string considered a transverse wave?

Because the media displacement (up & down movement of the string) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the medi displacement is back & forth, which is parallel to the wave propagation.

What happen to its energy when a pulse sent down a long string eventually dies away and disappear?
The energy gets absorbed by the string, and will be converted mainly to heat.
What is difference between wave and pulse?
When force is applied, the first trough and crest formed in the string is called pulse. Continuous trains of these crests and troughs forms the wave.
If A pulse in a less dense medium is traveling towards the boundary with a more dense medium. Why is The speed of the transmitted pulse will be less than the speed of the incident pulse?
The speed is Inversely dependent on the density of the medium, s=c/n(density)
One end of a taut rope is fixed to a post What type of wave is produced if the free end is quickly raised and lowered one time?
It will form a pulse wave because the rope is being moved once. NOTE: If the movement continued, then the wave would be a transverse wave.
What is a pulse in physics?
A pulse is related to a traveling wave. Imagine a bump moving along a rope that has been pulled taut because you moved the rope up and down once. It's basically a signal at an instant of time.
Why is a wave pulse traveling on a string considered a longitudinal wave?
it is sideways displacement vs. lengthwise or rotational.
Is a bit is every pulse in a digital signal?
A bit is an on or off; (high or a low ; one or zero, depending on the logic.) A string of bits might be seen as "one pulse", but it is the bit Rate which must be considered.
How you measure the amplitude of a compressional wave?
There are two types of waves: longitudinal and transverse. In a longitudinal wave, the wave moves parallel to the disturbance. In a transverse wave, the wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of disturbance in the medium. For example, in a vibrating string, the string moves up and down, but the pulse travels down the string. The wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the way the string moves. The amplitude of a wave is a measure of its size, or the distance between its peak and trough. It is also a measure of the amount of energyin a wave. While amplitude is hard to calculate for longitudinal waves, it is a fairly simple task to calculate in transverse waves.Instructions1 Find the point where the string (or other medium) is farthest from horizontal in one direction.2 Measure the distance between that point and the horizontal.3 Double that distance. This is the amplitude.

What do portable pulse oximeters do?
Pulse oximeters are devices that monitor the saturation of one's hemoglobin. A portable pulse oximeter is useful for those who need to monitor their hemoglobin while traveling.

A pulse with a consistent pattern to it is considered to be?
"Steady"

Is a pulse rate of 58 bad?
It is not considered bad, especially if you are very fit, your pulse at rest can be low.
What pulse is considered to be a standard pulse?
the standard pulse for ages 6-15 would be from ranges of 70-100. For an adult though it would be 60-100.
What characteristics do arteries have to have to be considered a pulse site?
Arteries that are relatively large and near the surface can be used as pulse sites.
