with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."

$v = 600THz\cdot 10m = 6\cdot 10^{14} \frac{1}{s}\cdot 10 m = 6\cdot10^{15}\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)

A speedboat moves on a lake with initial velocity vector v1,x = 8.57 m/s and v1,y = -2.61 m/s, then accelerates for 6.67 seconds

KengaRu [80]

First, you find the velocity at each component. The general equation is:

a = (v2 - v1)/t

a,x = (v2,x - v1,x)/t
-0.105 = (v2,x - 8.57)/6.67
v2,x = 7.87 m/s

a,y = (v2,y - v1,y)/t
0.101 = (v2,y - -2.61)/6.67
v2,y = -1.94 m/s

To find the final speed, find the resultant velocity by taking the hypotenuse.

v^2 = (v2,x)^2 + (v2,y)^2
v^2 = (7.87)^2 + (-1.94)^2
v = 8.1 m/s
