Answer:
The wave speed is calculated below:
Explanation:
Given,
number of waves passed per minute = 8
time period = 1 minute = 60 s
distance between successive wave crests = 20 m
waves passing interval per second =

Now,
wave speed = 20 m ×

=
m/s
= 2.67 m/s
Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.
Answer:
<h2>4.6 m/s²</h2>
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula
<h3>

</h3>
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
a is the acceleration
Since the body is from rest u = 0
From the question we have

We have the final answer as
<h3>4.6 m/s²</h3>
Hope this helps you
The wave speed completely depends on the characteristics and properties of the medium . . . physical properties for mechanical waves, electrical properties for electromagnedtic waves.
So if you want to change the speed of a wave, you have to change the medium . . . shoot it through some different kind of stuff. <em>(B) </em>
Answer:
p waves travel faster than s waves and surface waves
