You have lost the paddles for the canoe you rented, and the canoe has drifted to the center of a pond. You need to get it back to the shore, but you do not want to get wet by swimming in the pond. Your friend suggests that you drop rocks behind the canoe to create waves that will push the canoe toward the shore. Will this solution work? Why or why not? Please explain in terms of Waves.

No, this will not work, bc vibration waves are caused when particles move in circles.

hope this helps (:
