The diagrams show two trials of an experiment in which a spring scale was used to measure force. This experiment can be used to determine--- (5.6D)
how mass affects the force needed to move objects
how force affects the mass of two objects
how the fore used to pull a dictionary affects the mass of a box of marbles
how the mass of a box of marbles affects the mass of a dictionary
A student observes that the craters on the moon are different sizes. The student designs an experiment to study the formation of craters. The materials for the experiment are marbles and a pan of flour. The student makes a hypothesis that the size of the craters made on the surface of the flour will depend on the height from which the marble is dropped. Some of the steps in the student's experiment are described in the picture. Which of these is most likely Step 3 in the student's experiment? (5.6D)
Drop the same marble from different heights into the pan of flour
Drop marbles of different masses from the same height into the pan of flour
Drop marbles of different sizes from different heights into the pan of flour
Drop a single marble one time into the pan of flour
