If the vibrations of the particles of the medium conveying a wave are to and fro and parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, then the wave is called a longitudinal wave.

Transverse wave: If the vibrations of the particles of the medium conveying a wave are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave is called a transverse

<span>A transverse wave is one for which the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas, for longitudinalwaves oscillations are in the direction of propagation. Ripples in pond water move about the surface of water and they simultaneously move away from the point-0 too.</span><span>
Longitudinal waves include sound waves(vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of thewave.

Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?
Semmy [17]
Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
 At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
 Ea = m * g * h
 In other words, energy is only potential.
 At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
 Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
 In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
 For energy conservation we have:
 Ea = Eb
 That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
 Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
 answer:
 the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

Which of these is an example of a mechanical wave
anastassius [24]
Some of the most common examples of mechanical waves are water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. There are three types of mechanical waves: transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves.
