You're traveling down the road in a car at 30mph, your mate is following in his car and is also traveling at 30mph. What is his speed relative to you?tommyhakinen said:
Correct, so if something is moving towards you do you add or subtract the objects speed from yours?tommyhakinen said:

The wave frequency for a boat moving westward can be calculated by dividing the boat's speed (in meters per second) by the wavelength (in meters).
The formula for calculating wave frequency for a boat moving westward is f = v / λ, where f is the wave frequency, v is the boat's speed, and λ is the wavelength.
Yes, the wave frequency for a boat moving westward can change depending on the boat's speed and the wavelength of the waves. As the boat's speed increases, the wave frequency will also increase.
The unit of measurement for wave frequency is hertz (Hz). This represents the number of waves passing through a given point per second.
The direction of the boat's movement does not directly affect the wave frequency. However, the boat's speed and the wavelength of the waves can affect the wave frequency, which in turn can be influenced by the direction of the boat's movement.
