Answer: 300 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

length of water wave (λ) = 10 metres

Frequency of water wave (F) = 30 Hertz

Velocity of water wave (V) = ?

The velocity of a wave is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V. It is related to frequency and wave length by the formula: V = F λ

V = 30 Hertz x 10 metres

V = 300 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the water wave is 300 m/s
