Newton's first law of motion

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

What is the difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave? 

in a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, while in a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel

The primary function of a wave

transfer energy from one place to another, but they do not transfer matter; meaning the particles in the medium vibrate and pass on the energy, but they themselves don't move significantly with the wave itself.
