Question

A.There are two boats anchored in the harbor, separated by a horizontal distance of 40 meters.The boats bob up and down as the waves enter the harbor. when one boat is at its highest point the other boat is at its lowest point, and there are two wave crests between them. Each boat makes exactly 2 up-and-down cycles every 10 seconds. When Boat A is at its highest point, Boat B is at its lowest point; at this moment, there are two wave crests between the two boats. The vertical distance between the boats their extremes is 3.0 meters. Determine the amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, and wave speed. Show all work. B. There are two boats - Boat A and Boat B – in the harbor that are anchored 30 meters apart. The incoming water waves from the bay cause the boats to vibrate up and down. They make one complete cycle every 2 seconds. When Boat A is at its highest point, Boat B is at its lowest point; at this moment, there is one wave crest between the two boats. The vertical distance between Boat A and Boat B at their extremes is 6.0 meters. Determine the amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength and wave speed. Show all work.
