Problem

During a

6.0\,\text{s}

interval, 20 successive wave crests pass a stationary buoy on the ocean. The distance between adjacent crests is measured to be

14\,\text{m}

. What is the speed of the wave? a)

2.2\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}

4.7\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}

4.4\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}

4.2\times10^{0}\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}
