Understanding the Concepts

* Speed: The rate at which an object or wave moves over a certain distance.

* Distance: The length of the rope in this case (25 meters).

* Time: The time it takes for the wave to travel the length of the rope (5.0 seconds).

Formula

Speed = Distance / Time

Calculation

Speed = 25 meters / 5.0 seconds

Speed = 5 meters per second (m/s)

Answer

The speed of the wave traveling down the rope is 5 meters per second.
