<span>A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane. Light is an example of a transverse wave.</span>
At the beginning of a basketball game, a referee tosses the ball straight
up with a speed of 4.6 m/s. a player cannot touch the ball until after it reaches its maximum height and begins to fall down. what is the minimum time that a player must wait before touching the ball? s

kinemaic equation
v=u-at
0=4.6-9.81xt
t=4.6/9.81 ... about half a second
You need distance and time to find average speed.
