Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

dybincka [34]

Answer:

0 km/h vertically, horizontally yet 350 km/h

Explanation:

The bundle was inside the plane, so it start a free fall movement from rest, i.e., 0km/h, but of course the speed increases with gravity, at 9,8m/s^2 over time, but since here it is asked the vertical speed at the beginning, it is 0 km/h.
