Question

Two similar sized stones one heavy and one light dropped from the same height into a pond explain why the impact of the heavy stone would produce with a higher amplitude than the impact of the light stone would

Answer 1

in energy point of view, the larger stone had more potential energy before dropping. impacting the water, the larger one, having more kinetic energy which changed from potential energy, tranfered energy to the water and formed wave. the amplitude of the wave indicate the energy of the wave. more energy more amplitude.
