Question

How fast are the waves traveling
If the distance between 2 is 7m and hit every 3 seconds

Answer 1

The speed of waves is 2.3 meters per second.

Explanation:

Data given is:

Distance= d = 7 meters

Time= t = 3 seconds

• The formula for calculating speed is  Speed= distance/time

• by using this formula we will get Speed = 7/3 = 2.3 meters per second.

Answer 2

The velocity of the waves is 2.3 m/s

Explanation:

Distance between two waves (d) = 7 m

Time taken by the wave to cover 7 m (t) = 3 s

Formula for velocity (v) = $\frac{distance(d)}{time(t)}$

= wave velocity (v) = $\frac{7}{3}$

= (v) = 2.3 m/s

Wave velocity is 2.3 m/s
