2. Over a period of 112 seconds, a wave crashes on shore 14 times. Between the crests of each wave is 3.2 x 1022 m. Use this information to determine the wave’s velocity.

i need help bc i forgot how to find the numbers the correct way

Arieonna · Answer

ok i think you need 112 seconds * 14 =1568         3.2*1022=3270.4

i hope this helps you

the wave's velocity is 4 x 10^21 m/s. Note that this is an extremely high velocity and is not physically possible for a wave in our current understanding of physics.
