Answer:

1.67m

5m/s

Explanation:

Wavelength of the wave = 3m

Speed of the wave = 5m/s

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

Define habitat preservation and give at least two examples.

lisov135 [29]

Habitat preservation is when people get together or just one person helps to stop the end of a living space for animals such as the monterey aquarium the help sea life by doing research to see why animals are dying and do what they can to stop it. another one if nation parks or forests you are not allowed to harm them in any way they are protected by laws(the government)
