Answer:
1.67m
5m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Wavelength of the wave = 3m
Speed of the wave = 5m/s
Unknown:
Frequency of the wave = ?
Speed of the water waves = ?
Solution:
The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water waves is known as the wavelength of a wave.
To find the frequency ;
V = f∧
V is the speed of the wave
f is the frequency
∧ is the wavelength
Insert the parameters and find the frequency;
f = V/ ∧ = 5 / 3 = 1.67Hz
The rate at which the wave passed a given point is the speed of the wave and it is 5m/s
In order to solve this problem all you have to do is multiply 15 by 3.5 which equals 52.5
So the answer is D. 52.5 miles!
