Set 9 Problem 6 A water strider on the surface of a pool moves up and down through a total vertical distance of 0.14 in, measured from lowest to highest point, as a ripple passes by. a. What is the amplitude of the ripple? b. If the magnitude of the ripples increases to a total vertical distance of 0.21 m, by what factor N does the insects's maximum kinetic energy change? How is the maximum kinetic energy related to the amplitude of the Wave'.7
