Multiple Choice

A student is investigating acceleration and force.

The student rolls five balls of different masses

and records her observations in the table shown.What claim can the student make using this

data?

• The acceleration of an object is dependent on its

  mass.

• The mass of an object is directly proportional to

  its acceleration.

• The acceleration of an object decreases as the

  mass of an object increases.

• The amount of force required to accelerate an

  object is proportional to its mass.

Multiple Choice

Assuming the force acting on the object is equal,

which claim about inertia and acceleration can be

supported by the data collected by the student?

• An object with a lower mass has less inertia

  which causes acceleration to decrease.

• An object with a higher mass has more inertia

  which causes acceleration to decrease.

• An object with a lower mass has more inertia

  which causes acceleration to increase.

• An object with a higher mass has less inertia

  which causes acceleration to increase.
