How powerful must the outboard motor of a 530 kg boat be if it can ride up the face of a 23 degree wave with its 85 kg driver at a constant 55 km/hr while the coefficient of friction between the boat’s hull and the water is .46? Please answer the question on paper. I do not understand when it is typed out. Thank you

On December 26, 2004, a great earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) that killed some 200000 people. Satellites observing these waves from space measured 800 km from one wave crest to the next and a period between waves of 1.0 hour. The speed of the waves were 800 km/h. How does the speed of the wave help you understand why the waves caused such devastation?
