Transverse waves moving (a string)

[pyctz]

in transverse wave (traveling pulse) when a particle move down it has maximum velocity at equilibrium point , why it stop suddenly at this point?

It does?

It does?

yes

What makes you think this? Do you have a specific example in mind?

a disturbance in one region of
rope and
, the
propagation of this
disturbance
to other regions

I can appreciate how it may look as if the string stops. But you would need to see exactly how the single pulse is formed and how it's actually driven.
I it may be that your OP is based on what you have learned about continuous waves ( even just simple sine waves) where the maximum speed is at the zero crossing. Things are different for single pulses.

explain about single pulse,
where does maximum speed occure?

Probably at the steepest part of the pulse. As with a sine waveform.
It has to be slowing down as it approaches the middle (displacement =0)
In practice, such a unidirectional pulse could be hard to impress on a string. There could be overswing below the line.
