Do the speed of the ripples, or waves, in a pond depend on the weight of the pebble thrown into the water? I would think the answer is no since it should only depend on the properties of the water. Similarly if you take a rope and jerk it violently (more force) compared to softly (less force) and the rope has a fixed tension...the wave would have the same speed in both cases, no?
