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.

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.
