    A boat is moving to the right at 5.0 m/s with respect to the water. An ocean wave is moving to the left, opposite the motion of the boat. The waves have 2.0 m between the top of the crests and the bottom of the troughs. The period of the waves is 8.3 s, and their wavelength is 110 m. The water wave acts like a cosine function as ?(?, ?) = ? cos(?? + ?? + ?). At one...

    Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable, but upon reaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of a six-story building. One tsunami, generated off the Aleutian islands in Alaska, had a wavelength of 885 km and traveled a distance of 3310 km in 4.09 h. (a) What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave? For reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 250...
