Question

A water wave travels across a 42-meter wide pond in 7.0 seconds. The speed of the wave is _____. 292 m/s 49 m/s 6.0 m/s 0.17 m/s

Answer 1

6.0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A water wave travels across a 42-meter wide pond in 7.0 seconds. The speed of the wave is _____.

292 m/s

49 m/s

6.0 m/s

0.17 m/s

Answer 2

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

The speed of anything that covers 42 meters in 7 seconds is

(42 meters) / (7.0 seconds)

= (42 / 7.0) (meters/second)

= 6.0 m/s .
