Respuesta :
The average speed of the waves which strikes the shore is 0.333m/s.
What is average speed?
The average speed of any moving object is the ratio of the total distance covered and the total time taken to cover that distance.
If ocean waves strike the shore every 3.0 s and the horizontal distance between adjacent crests and troughs is 1.0 m,
The speed is related to wavelength and frequency as
v = fλ
Wavelength is the distance between the adjacent crest or trough and the frequency is the reciprocal of Time period.
So, speed will be
v =λ/T
Substitute the values, we have
v = 1/3
v = 0.333 m/s
Thus, the speed of the wave is 0.333 m/s
