Question

Last question i'm stuck on please help me through this.

Five waves pass a dock in 2.0 s. If the waves are traveling at 10.0 m/s, then what is the wavelength of the waves?

Answer 1

how did you get 4m?

Answer 2

ok, thank you for explaining

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the wavelength of the waves, we need to use the formula:

Wavelength = Speed / Frequency

In this case, speed is given as 10.0 m/s. However, frequency is not explicitly mentioned in the question. But we can calculate it using the given information that five waves pass a dock in 2.0 s.

Frequency is the number of waves passing a given point in one second. So, we can calculate the frequency by dividing the number of waves (which is 5) by the time taken (which is 2.0 s):

Frequency = Number of Waves / Time

Frequency = 5 / 2.0 s

Frequency = 2.5 Hz

Now that we have the speed (10.0 m/s) and frequency (2.5 Hz), we can calculate the wavelength:

Wavelength = Speed / Frequency

Wavelength = 10.0 m/s / 2.5 Hz

Wavelength = 4.0 meters

Therefore, the wavelength of the waves is 4.0 meters.

Answer 4

4m

Answer 5

v = d/t

d = v*t
d = 20m/s
5 waves

Answer = 20meters/5
