Calculate how fast are the waves traveling

Reference no: EM13681971

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.30 second for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 meter. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.50 meter apart. Determine how fast are the waves traveling? Determine what is the amplitude A of each wave?
