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 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.690 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling?

1.48 m/s

Explanation:

If it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, then the period for the boat to travel from its highest point back to its highest point again is twice that, which is 2.2 * 2 = 4.4 s

Since wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart, we can calculate the speed that waves are traveling at

6.5 / 4.4 = 1.48 m/s

answer:   you might love summer weather, but you don’t want it to feel like the sun is inside your car. but a hot car that just won’t seem to cool down might be a bigger of a problem than you think. your car relies on being at the right temperature.
