Average acceleration is
Change in Velocity/change in time
So you could then do Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti
Which would look like 13m/s-6m/s / 1s-0s
Which then is 7m/s/1s which means the acceleration is 7m/s^2
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly. Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs. In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle. Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats. The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency. For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz. The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"
