Answer:
S = 16 m
Explanation:
Given that
The frequency of the water waves, f = 4 Hz
The wavelength of the water waves, λ = 2 m
The time the waves reached the shore, t = 2 s
The relation between the velocity, wavelength, and the frequency of the wave is given by the relation,
v = f λ m/s
Substituting the given values in the above equation,
v = 4 x 2
= 8 m/s
The velocity of the water waves is v = 8 m/s
The distance between the shore and boat is given by
s = v x t
= 8 x 2
= 16 m
Hence, the distance between the boat and the shore is, s = 16 m
