Two similar sized stones, one heavy and one light, are dropped from the same height into a pond. Explain why the impact of the heavy stone would produce waves with higher amplitude than the impact of the light done would.

Verified Answer :

The impact of the heavy stone would produce waves with a higher amplitude because the stone would pick up more speed while falling.

the mass of the object affects the force, as shown in the equation f=ma or force = mass times acceleration. The stone with the higher mass would emit a greater force on the water, causing it to be displaced and wave. the stones would actually fall at the same speed.
