Question

You are on a ship (100 m in length) travelling north on the deep ocean. There are progressive ocean waves also propagating north, and you note two items of information: 1) when the ship’s bow is positioned at a crest, the stern is at a trough, and 2) a different crest is positioned at the bow every 20 s. What is the ship’s speed?
