A student designs an experiment to release a ball on a curved ramp. What observation can be made regarding the motion of this object after being rolled on a curved ramp?

• Each time the ball reaches the opposite side, the height reached decreases.

• Each time the ball reaches the opposite side, the height reached increases and then decreases.

• Each time the ball reaches the opposite side, the height reached increases.

• Each time the ball reaches the opposite side, the height reached remains the same.

Ruben designs an experiment in which he slides a marble towards a cup, to see how far the cup moves. He tries three different marbles to see how weight affects how far the cup moves. Based on the data he collected, what can he observe about the movement of the cup?

• The more the cup weighed, the farther it moved.

• The more the marble weighed, the less distance the cup moved.

• The more the marble weighed, the farther the cup moved.

• The less the marble weighed, the farther the cup moved.

• 8 inches

• 9 inches

Annie observes an osprey (bird) carrying a large fish back to its nest. The osprey seems to be having difficulty flying. It is sinking and dipping towards the ground and has to flap hard to stay in the air. An osprey with no fish in its feet has no trouble flying to its nest. Why is the motion of the osprey carrying the fish different?

• The osprey that is carrying the fish has more weight, so gravity has a greater impact.

• The osprey that is carrying the fish has less weight, so gravity has a greater impact.

• The osprey that is carrying the fish has more weight, so gravity has a lesser impact.

• The osprey that is carrying the fish has less weight, so gravity has a lesser impact.
