In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. The animation below shows a one-dimensional transverse plane wave propagating from left to right. The particles do not move along with the wave; they simply oscillate up and down about their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passes by. Pick a single particle and watch its motion.

The S waves (Secondary waves) in an earthquake are examples of Transverse waves. S waves propagate with a velocity slower than P waves, arriving several seconds later.

Strike441 [17]
Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di
Shalnov [3]

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour          

                                         = Total distance traveled/ total time taken                  

                                         = \frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} }  = \frac{106x}{x+53}

                              26.5 = \frac{106x}{x+53} \\ \\ 79.5 x = 1404.5\\ \\ x = 17.67 miles/hour
