Best Answer

The "whip" probably refers to the sudden change of direction at the tip of a whip. It's the rapid and dramatic acceleration of the tip of the whip when it changes direction, and it may cause it to snap. With a bullwhip, the tip of the whip accelerates so much that it actually breaks the sound barrier creating a small sonic boom. And that's the crack! of the whip that we hear.

The bullwhip effect (or whiplash effect) is an observed phenomenon in forecast-driven distribution channels.

The bullwhip effect can be explained as an occurrence detected by the supply chain where orders sent to the manufacturer and supplier create larger variance then the sales to the end customer.

What kind of wave is a pulse traveling along a bullwhip?

The wave traveling along a bullwhip is simply a mechanical wave. It's like the wave that travels along a jump rope or a fly fishing line when it's being cast. The user accelerates the handle of the bullwhip forward, and the rest of the whip moves along in response. It should be noted that the sudden reversal of the tip of the whip is what accelerates the end to supersonic speed. This creates the small sonic boom which we know as the crack! of the bullwhip. All of this action is the result of mechanical forces, or mechanics.
