The whole question is talking about the amplitude of a wave
that's transverse and wiggling vertically.

Equilibrium to the crest . . . that's the amplitude.

Crest to trough . . . that's double the amplitude.

Trough to trough . . . How did that get in here ?  Yes, that's
                               the wavelength, but it has nothing to do
                               with vertical displacement.

Frequency . . . that's how many complete waves pass a mark
                       on the ground every second.  Doesn't belong here.

Notice that this has to be a transverse wave.  If it's a longitudinal wave,
like sound or a slinky, then it may not have any displacement at all
across the direction it's moving.

It also has to be a vertically 'polarized' wave.  If it's wiggling across
the direction it's traveling BUT it's wiggling side-to-side, then it has
no vertical displacement.  It still has an amplitude, but the amplitude
is all horizontal.

Answer:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Explanation:

The general kinematic equation for horizontal displacement is gives as:

Δx = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where

Δx = change in the x direction

v₀ = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the body is vertically instead of horizontally, Δx is changed to Δy

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)at²

For a vertical moving body, the acceleration it experiences is the gravitational accerelation of the earth 'g'

So the equation becomes:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards
