You're conducting an experiment with waves. You have a large tub of water and you place a beach ball in it. You create different waves to see how the ball's movement is affected by wave properties. If you increase the amplitude of the waves, what changes occur in the ball's movement?
The ball would move a greater distance up and down
The ball would move a smaller distance up and down
You're experimenting with waves. You have a large tub of water, and you place a beach ball in it. You create different waves to see how the ball's movement is affected by wave properties. If the waves have a short wavelength, which statements describe the ball's movement?
The ball would move up and down more slowly.
The ball would move up and down more quickly.
