Question 13

A group of students is making paper airplanes. They think that the kind of paper and the design of the airplane may affect how far each paper airplane flies. The students first test if the kind of paper affects how far the airplane flies. They make several airplanes out of different kinds of paper, using the same design. Why is it important that all the airplanes have the same design?

Accepted Answer

If they do not use the same design, the students cannot learn about the effect of the paper.

Question 23

A student holds a ball at the top of a ramp. He lets go of the ball and the ball speeds up as it rolls down the ramp. How do the gravitational potential energy and the motion energy (kinetic energy) of the ball change as the ball rolls down the ramp? Why?

Accepted Answer

The gravitational potential energy decreases and the motion energy increases. The gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy as the ball rolls down the ramp.

Answer

The gravitational potential energy decreases and the motion energy increases. As soon as the ball starts moving it no longer has gravitational potential energy; it has only motion energy.

Answer

The motion energy and gravitational potential energy both decrease. Both forms of energy are used up as the ball moves and are not transformed into any other form of energy.

Answer

The gravitational potential energy and the motion energy both stay the same. One form of energy cannot be transformed into a different form of energy.
