1.

To make a graph with what you changed on the bottom, your Google Sheet should look like...

a)
b)
c)
d)
2.

What question does this experiment answer?

a)

Will it work?

b)

Will 3 chairs take 100 newtons force to move?

c)

Will adding chairs effect the amout of friction?

d)

Will the newton meter increase the number of chairs

3.

What was the question this data answered?

a)

The experiment will work

b)

We will use 100 newtons force to move 3 chairs

c)

More friction will will add more chairs

d)

We will need more force to move more chairs

4.

Only numbers are used below data table titles because, UNLIKE THIS CORRECT EXAMPLE

a)

It will always plot words along the bottom

b)

It will NOT put what you changed along the bottom

c)

It will WRONGLY put what you measured along the bottom

d)

All of the above

5.

When graphing we always want the thing we change to graphed like

a)
b)
c)
d)
6.

This mistake entering data puts what was measured along the bottom of the graph like

a)
b)
c)
7.

Which mistake would plot measurements along the bottom instead of what was changed?

a)
b)
c)
d)
8.

The thing changed should be typed in the ________ column so that it is along the bottom of the graph

a)

first column

b)

second column

c)

third column

d)
9.

Graphs should always have what we changed along the bottom & what we measured up the side like...

a)
b)
10.

This "paper drop" graph tells us...

a)

the more weight, the more time to drop

b)

the bigger the size the less time to drop

c)

full sheets of paper will always take 2.5 seconds to drop

d)

the bigger the size the more time to drop

11.

What does this graph tell us about parachutes?

a)

it tells us nothing about parachutes

b)

it tells us that bigger parachutes will likely drop more slowly

c)

it tells us that bigger parachutes likely will drop more quickly

12.

This "chair pull" graph tells us

a)

The the more the weight of the chairs the more the Newtons force needed to overcome friction.

b)

That adding 3 chairs will always require a 40N force to move them.

c)

That when we change the force the number of chairs will be more

13.

What does this graph tell us about surface & friction?

a)

the smoother the surface the shorter the slide (more friction)

b)

the bigger the block the more friction

c)

the smoother the surface the longer the slide (less friction)

14.

18.

Why does the forcemeter have a thing you can turn on its top?

a)

because it s fun to play with

b)

because we need to make it read zero before we use it

c)

because you can make the meter read exact numbers
