Question
A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and
down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of
the water. It takes 2.90 s for the boat to travel from
its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of
0.620 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests
are spaced 7.80 m apart.
Part A
How fast are the waves traveling?
v = 1.34 m/s
