It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip. 

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing. 
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion.  If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:  
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:  
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C  
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:  
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E: 
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
  1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute   

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately _______.
Temka [501]

The speed of the wave  is mathematically given as

v=2266.66m/s

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately v=2266.66m/s

<h3>Speed of the wave</h3>

Question Parameters:

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes

Generally the equation for the Wave velocity  is mathematically given as

v=\lambda * frequency

Where

f=1/t

Therefore

v=\lambda * frequency

v=\lambda * 1/t

Therefore, with wavelenght of the ocean as 34km

v=34*1000*1/15

v=2266.66m/s
