    The document is a worksheet for students that includes questions about waves and how they can move objects like boats. It asks the student to think about how they would help their friend move a toy boat that is floating in a river within reach, and then asks them to analyze what type of wave could move the boat and what waves carry to enable that motion. It then provides two physics problems about calculating wave speed given measurements of frequency and wavelength.

    Learner’s Name: __________________________________________________________

    Grade Level/Section: _______________________ Date: ________________________

    1. Activity
    Directions: Read and analyze the given situation.
    You and your close friend are playing at a side of a river. You see a toy boat
    floating at a distance not within the reach of your friend. Your friend wants to move the
    boat to reach it.

    Source: Project EASE. Waves: Carriers of Energy

    2. Analysis
    Q1. How will you help your friend? What will you do to move the boat?Q2. How would you generate
    water waves on the river?
    Q3.Based on the activity, what is your idea about a wave?
    Q4. What has made the boat move?
    Q5. What is carried by the wave to make the boat move?

    Directions: Solve the following problems


    1. A boat is approaching the shore. The frequency of some approaching ocean waves
    is 2 Hz and the length between two wave crests is 3 m. What is the speed of the
    ocean waves moving towards the shore?

    2. Suppose you observed an anchored boat to rise and fall once every 4.0 seconds as waves whose
    crests are 25 meters apart pass by it.

    a. What is the frequency of the observed waves?


    b. What is the speed of the waves?
