The speed of ocean waves depends on their wavelength

Reference no: EM1322576

Q1. The speed of ocean waves depends on their wavelength (measured in meters) and the gravitational field strength g (measured in m/s2) in this way:

v = K pgq

where K is a dimensionless constant. Find out the values of the exponent's p and q.

Q2. Assume your car was modified so you could travel through space. At a velocity of 65 mi/hr, and driving non-stop, how long would it take for you to get to:

i) Pluto (usually the outermost planet in our solar system), at a distance of 5.85 X 10^9 km?

ii) Proximal Centauri (the nearest star to the Sun), at the distance of 1.33 pc?
