A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.6 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.53 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 4.8 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling? (Give your answer in m/s.)
