Question

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

Answer 1

Given, Distance travelled(d)=6m

Time taken(t)=2sec

Speed(s)=?

We know that,

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

`\purple{speed(s) = (6m)/(2sec) }`

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

Answer 2

• Distance=6m
• Time=2s

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=(Distance)/(Time)`

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=(6)/(2)`

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