Select ONE correct answer.

A student designs an investigation to test the effects of variable mass on the force exhibited by a wagon. A student chooses a 50 g wagon and washers with a mass of 5 g each. Results are shown.

What force can be expected for the wagon and five washers?

Which investigation is best to find the average speed of a toy car?

• Time how long it takes three different toy cars to travel a distance of 2 meters. Conduct three trials of the investigation. Calculate the speed by multiplying distance by time

• Time how long it takes a toy car to travel a distance of 2 meters. Repeat the investigation, timing how long it takes the toy car to travel a distance of 3 meters. Calculate the speed by dividing distance by time

• Time how long it takes a toy car to travel a distance of 2 meters. Conduct three trials of the investigation. Calculate the speed by dividing the average distance by the average time

• Time how long it takes a toy car to travel a distance of 2 meters. Conduct three trials of the investigation. Calculate the speed by multiplying the average distance by the average time.
