Ocean waves observed to travel along the water surface during a developing storm. a coast guard weather station observes that there is a vertical distance from high point to low point of 4.6 meters and a horizontal distance of 8.6 meters between adjacent crests. the waves splash into the station once every 6.2 seconds. what two factors determine the speed of the wave

The horizontal distance represents wavelength λ. The time represents the period of the wave T.

Wave speed is given by v= λ/T

Hence, those are the only parameters needed.

Note: the vertical distance is for calculating amplitude which is not used in calculating wave speed.

hi,

the answer is d, it has indefinite shape but definite volume.

hope this !

what is the volume occupied by 40 grams of argon gas (ar) at standard conditions? what volume, in liters, is occupied by 1.5 x 1023
