Question

Waves in the ocean are 6m apart and pass a surfer every 2 s. what is the wave speed​

Answer 1

• Distance=6m
• Time=2s

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=\dfrac{6}{2}$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=3m/s$

Answer 2

Answer:

Given, Distance travelled(d)=6m

Time taken(t)=2sec

Speed(s)=?

We know that,

$\purple {speed(s) = \frac{distance \: travelled(d)}{time \: taken(t)}}$

$\purple{speed(s) = \frac{6m}{2sec} }$

$\purple{speed(s) = 3 m /s}$
