Well if we divide both numbers by 5, you get 2 meters per second. Multply this by 3600seconds per hour and you get 7200 meters per hour. There are 1609.34 meters in a mile, so divide 7200 by 1609 to get 4.5 miles per hour

Answer:

Speed of the transverse wave is 2 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

The transverse wave travels 10 meters in 5 seconds. We have to find the speed of the wave.

The speed of the transverse wave is given by :

\(s=\dfrac{d}{t}\)

Where

d is the distance, d = 10 meters

t is the time taken, t = 5 seconds

So, \(s=\dfrac{10\ m}{5\ s}\)

Speed, s = 2 m/s

Hence, the speed of the transverse wave is 2 m/s.
