Question

Use the graph to determine the speed of the graph

Answer 1

Given:

It takes 1.5 s to complete one wave.

One wave covers 25 m.

To find the speed of the wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of the wave will be

`\begin{gathered} f=(1)/(1.5) \\ =0.667\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}`

The wavelength of the wave is

`\lambda\text{ = 25 m}`

The speed of the wave can be calculated by the formula

`v=f\lambda`

On substituting the values, the speed of the wave will be

`\begin{gathered} v=\text{ 0.667}*25 \\ =16.67\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the speed of the wave is 16.67 m/s
