Ocean waves are observed to travel to the right along the water surface during a developing storm. A Coast Guard weather station
observes that there is a vertical distance from high point to low point of 4.6 meters and a horizontal distance of 8.6 meters between adjacent crests. The waves splash into the station once every 6.2 seconds. Determine the amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period of these waves. Write out the equation that governs this behavior.

Answer:
7.9
Explanation:
Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:
m ∝ a
Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:
Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration, :
Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:
0.85g * 9.8 = 8.33
Plug everything in:
7.9 =
(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)
