Exploring Forces and Motion Lab Quiz

In the Domino Ramp experiment, how did the back of the white board affect the motion of the domino?

• It slowed it down or stopped it by increasing friction.

• It made it go faster because there was less friction.

• It made it go faster because this is more friction.

• It went the same speed as the front side of the white board.
