A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 3.5 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.57 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 5.8 m apart. (a) How fast are the waves traveling?
(b) What is the amplitude of each wave?
(c) If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Need asap ! what is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? (2 points) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area remains constant. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases and decreases in an alternating pattern. 3. which of the following correctly describes a way in which earth's atmosphere interacts with the geosphere?
