In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form, If the crest of an ocean wave moves a distance of 20 meters in 10 seconds, then the speed of the ocean wave is 2.0 m/s. wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time.
Best Answer: As you can probably guess, a lot of studies measure fish swimming speeds in two ways -- sustained speeds and burst speeds. Burst speed is how fast the fish can swim for very short periods (seconds). Sustained speed is how fast the fish can swim for longer periods (several minutes and up). Even so, determining exact swimming speeds for various fish species is difficult because there are so many variables to consider -- water temp, water speed, water depth, fish size, and fish health.
