Chris and desiree are resting on an offshore raft after a swim. they estimate that 3.0 m separates the trough from the adjacent crest of each surface wave on the lake. they count 12 crests that pass by the raft in 20.0 s. how fast are the waves moving?
a. 1.2 m/s c. 2.3 m/s
b. 3.6 m/s d. 3.2 m/s

Why does the equilibrium position of the spring change when a mass is added to the spring? will the mass oscillate around the new equilibrium position of the spring or the previous position without a mass attached to the spring? if the equilibrium position of the spring changes by 20 cm (assuming no initial mass) when a mass is added to the spring with constant 4.9 kg/s^2, what is the mass of the object attached to the spring?
