A boat is floating on the surface of water that is initially still. Waves start to build, and over time their amplitude continues to increase but their frequency remains the same. What will happen to the boat's motion over time?(1 point) Responses The boat will move up and down at the same rate. However, over time the distance it moves up and down will keep getting larger. The boat will move up and down at the same rate. However, over time the distance it moves up and down will keep getting larger. The distance the boat moves up and down will remain the same. However, the boat will move up and down slowly at first, and then start to move up and down more quickly. The distance the boat moves up and down will remain the same. However, the boat will move up and down slowly at first, and then start to move up and down more quickly. The boat will move up and down at the same rate. However, over time the distance it moves up and down will keep getting smaller. The boat will move up and down at the same rate. However, over time the distance it moves up and down will keep getting smaller. The distance the boat moves up and down will remain the same. However, the boat will move up and down quickly at first, and then start to move up and down more slowly.

Answer 1

In this scenario, as the amplitude of the waves increases while their frequency remains constant, the boat will indeed move up and down at the same rate (determined by the wave frequency), but the distance it moves up and down (amplitude) will increase over time due to the growing amplitude of the waves.

The correct response is: "The boat will move up and down at the same rate. However, over time the distance it moves up and down will keep getting larger."
