Branch of science that studies matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. Describing the nature, measuring and quantifying of bodies and their motion, and dynamics.
Two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal<span> waves and </span>transverse<span> waves; the medium movement differs between the two.
</span>In a longitudinal wave the medium particle movement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation; example is sound wave in air.
I<span>n a transverse wave the medium particle movement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation; example is mechanical wave on a string.
