Which spacing of dominoes (1cm, 1.5 cm, or 2cm apart) resulted in the fastest speed at which the dominoes fell?

Choose the best EVIDENCE to answer this question.

• When the dominoes are further apart, they cover more distance and this increases the speed.

• Calculating the speed (distance/time) for each spacing results in the following:

  1 cm spacing: 89 cm/s 

  1.5 cm spacing: 95 cm/s 

  2 cm spacing: 99 cm/s
