Homework Statement
A jetskier is moving at 8.30 m/s in the direction in which the waves on a lake are moving. Each time he passes over a crest, he feels a bump. The bumping frequency is 1.17 Hz, and the crests are separated by 5.30 m. What is the wave speed?
Jetski's Speed = 8.30m/s with the waves
ƒ of waves= 1.17
wavelength = 5.30m
Homework Equations
v = (wavelength)ƒ
The Attempt at a Solution
when i tried the equation above i got an answer of 6.201m/s which turned out to now be right. What am i missing here?
v = ƒ(wavelength)
v = (1.17)(5.30)
v = (6.201m/s)
