16.6 Exercise 28

Avg difficulty 2.5

A motorboat is traveling across a lake at a speed of vb=15.00m/s.v_{b} = 15.00 \text{m}/\text{s} . The boat bounces up and down every 0.50 s as it travels in the same direction as a wave. It bounces up and down every 0.30 s as it travels in a direction opposite the direction of the waves. What is the speed and wavelength of the wave?
