Question

over a period of 112 sec. a wave crashes on shore 14 times. between the crests of each wave is 3.2 x 10 to the power of 22 m. what is the waves velocity?

Answer 1

calculate the wave velocity, we can use the formula:

velocity = wavelength / time period

Where the time period can be calculated by dividing the total time by the number of waves:

time period = total time / number of waves = 112 sec / 14 = 8 sec

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

velocity = (3.2 x 10^22 m) / (8 sec) = 4.0 x 10^21 m/s

Therefore, the wave velocity is 4.0 x 10^21 m/s.
