Height of water splashes

[quantum123]

If the velocity of a stone is the same in all cases, what determines how high the water splashes when hit by the stone?

You will have to explain the question more clearly.

Well, the mass of the stone will most certainly make a difference. I imagfine here are many physical properties of the stone that would make a diff.

Does it depend on how deep the stone travels into the water?

I believe how deep the stone goes into the water would alter the splash height somewhat, but I think the angle that the stone was at while hitting the water makes a big difference in the splash.
