Periodic motion implies that the ride oscillates back and forth. The period is the time it takes to complete one cycle. Therefore it would be the swing.
A tide of increased range that occurs during the new and full moons is called Spring Tide.
Answer:
a large matters of body with no shape is mass
The motion of the buoy is a composition of two independent motions:
- a uniform motion on the horizontal axis, with constant speed vx=50 m/s
- an uniformly accelerated motion on the vertical axis, with constant acceleration

Since we want to find the vertical displacement, we are only interested in the vertical motion.
The law of motion on the vertical direction is given by:

where
h is the initial height of the buoy

is the initial vertical velocity of the buoy, which is zero
t is the time
We know that the buoy lands after t=21 seconds, this means that the vertical position at t=21 s is y(21 s)=0. If we substitute these data into the equation, we can find the value of h, the initial height of the buoy:


And this corresponds to the vertical displacement of the buoy.
