In such coordinates the radial and transverse components of the acceleration are, respectively:

The most significant bridge motion is side-to-side rocking, coming from the transverse component of the strings' vibration.

The labels on the components reflect that is the radial component of the vector field, while and are transverse components.

In 1817, Young had proposed a small transverse component to light, while yet retaining a far larger longitudinal component.

An electromagnetic wave, in contrast, must have a transverse component, but may also be partially longitudinal.

A transverse component-" He withdrew into his brain.

The only component of fluid velocity which is non-zero in steady flow is, the transverse component.

They won't be able to get our velocity toward them without knowing our exhaust velocity, and they won't know our transverse component at all.

The distance from the origin to each part of the object is multiplied by the transverse component of the linear momentum of that part.

Loading points on a tower naturally encompasses longitudinal, transverse and vertical components, either as individual or a combined resultant load.
