Which of the following is NOT a release height used in the experiment?

• 1.00 meters

• 1.50 meters

• 2.00 meters

• 2.50 meters

Which statement about forces acting on the golf ball is supported by the evidence in Data Table 1?

• Balanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to increase as height of the bounce increases.

• Unbalanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to increase as the ball falls.

• Forces on the ball are balanced when the golf ball hits the floor and bounces up.

• Unbalanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to decrease as the ball falls.

A student claims that the energy of the golf ball was converted from one form to another when the ball hit the floor. Which table accurately describes an energy conversion that occurred when the ball hit the floor and the supporting evidence?

• Energy Conversion: heat energy into motion energy; Evidence: the ball got faster when it hit the floor

• Energy Conversion: sound energy into motion energy; Evidence: the ball made a noise when it hit the floor

• Energy Conversion: motion energy into heat energy; Evidence: the temperature of the ball decreased when the ball hit the floor

• Energy Conversion: motion energy into sound energy; Evidence: the ball made a noise when it hit the floor
