• It slows down the ball

• It changes the ball's color

• It has no effect on the ball

Which of the following best describes the relationship between force and motion in the context of a catapult?

• Force is unrelated to motion

• Force causes motion

• Motion causes force

• Force and motion are the same

In a catapult, what is the effect of increasing the mass of the projectile on its range, assuming all other factors remain constant?

• The range increases

• The range decreases

• The range remains the same

• The range becomes unpredictable

Which of the following is a benefit of using the LEGO Spike Prime kit for building a catapult?

• It is more expensive than other kits
