I'm having a hard time solving this practice problem. The answer key says: 111 m/s A tsunami produces a series of waves 100 km apart. If these waves reach shore every15 minutes, determine their speed.
you are sitting on a beach and a wave strikes the shore every 10 seconds. a surfer tells you that these waves travel at a speed of of 5m/s. how far apart are the crests of the waves, i.e what is the wavelength of these water waves? give your answer in meters
