NGSS.MS-PS3-5

True or False. In lesson 2 Part 1, we tested all three balls rolling down the ramp from position 4. We found, that all three, at position 4 traveled the same distance.

• true

• false

True or False. If all three balls are rolling down the ramp from position 4 and travel the same distance, then they are all going different speeds.

• true

• false
