The speed of an ocean wave is measured by an oceanographer.the wave travels 30 meters in 10 seconds. How many meters will the wave travel in 2 minutes
you did it right:) ;)
30 meters in 10 seconds = 30 / 10 = 3 m / s
2 min = 2 * 60 = 120 s
3 * 120 = 360 m
OR
2 min = 2 * 60 = 120 s
30 * ( 120 / 10 ) = 30 * 12 = 360 m
To find out how many meters the wave will travel in 2 minutes, we need to convert 2 minutes to seconds and then use the given speed.
1 minute = 60 seconds
So, 2 minutes = 2 * 60 = 120 seconds.
Now, we can use the speed of the wave to calculate the distance it will travel in 120 seconds.
Speed = Distance / Time
The wave travels 30 meters in 10 seconds, so we can set up a proportion:
30 meters / 10 seconds = x meters / 120 seconds
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
10 * x = 30 * 120
10x = 3600
x = 3600 / 10
x = 360 meters
Therefore, the wave will travel 360 meters in 2 minutes.
To find out how many meters the wave will travel in 2 minutes, we can use the information given about its speed.
First, let's determine the speed of the wave. We know that the wave travels 30 meters in 10 seconds. To find the speed, we can divide the distance traveled by the time it takes:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 30 meters / 10 seconds
Speed = 3 meters per second
Now that we know the speed of the wave is 3 meters per second, we can calculate how many meters it will travel in 2 minutes.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so there are 2 minutes x 60 seconds = 120 seconds in 2 minutes.
Therefore, to find the distance traveled in 2 minutes, we can multiply the speed of the wave by the time:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 3 meters per second x 120 seconds
Distance = 360 meters
Therefore, the wave will travel 360 meters in 2 minutes.
