Look at these shopping carts. How does removing the groceries affect the motion of the cart if they were both pushed using the same force.

• When the mass is decreased, the shopping cart will move faster.

• When the gravity is increased, the shopping carts will move exactly the same.

• When friction is decreased the empty shopping cart will move slower..

• When the mechanical energy is decreased, the filled shopping cart will move faster.

Kim launches her catapult bending the spoon which causes it to move a candy heart across the room. First she bends in 1 cm, next 2 cm, then finally 3 cm. She then measure how far the candy travels. What most likely happened in her experiment?

• 1= 16 cm, 2= 26 cm, 3= 36 cm

• 1= 36 cm, 2= 26 cm, 3= 16 cm

• 1= 16 cm, 2= 16 cm, 3= 16 cm

• 1=36 cm, 2= 26 cm, 3= 0 cm

Why should students perform several trials of rolling a car down a ramp to measure how long it takes for it to roll 1 meter.

• They may want to move the ramp each time.

• the carpet on the floor may slow down the car.

• They may want to push the car instead of releasing it.

• Someone could have been distracted and not have stopped the timer right away,

Marcus test how far 2 identical cars travel under the same conditions. Based on the photo, how is Marcus controlling the variables in his experiment?

• The mass and force will change for each trial.

• Neither the mass nor force will change for each trial.

• The mass will change for each trial, but the force will not change.

• The force will change for each trial, but the mass will not change.
