Let it Glide Prelab questions

Julia and Mike did an investigation with a toy car. They recorded their data in their Student Data Sheet and created the following table.

According to the data table, which question can Julia and Mike answer?

• How does the size of the wheels affect the distance the car moved?

• How does the amount of time the car rolled affect the distance the car moved?

• How does the mass of the car affect the distance the car moved?

• How does the length of the track affect the distance the car moved?

According to the data table, what can you infer?

• The amount of time the car rolls is related to distance travels.

• The larger the mass of the toy car, the farther it travels.

• The color of the toy car affects the speed that it travels

• The smaller the mass of the toy car, the farther it travels.
