You are supposed to use the basic formula for waves: speed = wavelength x frequency. In this case, you have to solve for frequency. (The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.)

A boat at anchor is rocked by waves whose crest are 40m apart and whose speed is 10m per s these waves reach the boat once every?

4 seconds


A ship anchored at sea is rocked by waves that have crests 14 m apart The waves travel as 7.0 ms How often do the wave crests reach the ship?

A wave crest hits the ship. The next wave crest is 14 m away and it is traveling at 7 meters per second. So in two seconds it will travel 14 m . Similarly, the next wave crest will hit in two seconds etc. So the crests hit the ship every two seconds.


Which wave has a greater frequency- wave a where a crest is seen once every second or wave b where a crest is seen some evry minute?

The wave that has a crest every second has a greater frequency.


How does a pulley help in lifting the load easily?

Because - through the use of gears, the load is spread. For example, every turn of the main pulley wheel only turns the anchor wheel one SIXTH.


What is the distance from the rest position in a wave to the crest or trough?

Let us look at a cosine wave, described by y = A cos (b). When b = 0 degrees, y = A (<-- peak) When b = 90 degrees, y = 0 (<-- rest position of the wave) When b = 180 degrees, y = -A (<-- trough) When b = 270 degrees, y=0 (<-- rest position again) and so on. If we force A to be a function of time, then the wave becomes a standing wave (see the related link). The peak and trough will reverse their relative position for every half of a period. Regardless, the trough at any time and the rest position is still 90 degrees, or one quarter of a wavelength. ====================================
