A. If less force than trial 1 is used, the marble will stop at position Y.
B. If less force than trial 2 is used, the marble will reach position Z.
C. If more force than trial 3 is used, the marble will stop at position X.
D. If more force than trial 3 is used, the marble will reach position Z.

Students use a seesaw on the playground during an experiment. A box with a mass of 10 kilograms is placed on the seesaw at point B. Students place boxes with different masses on the seesaw at point A and measure the speeds at which the right side of the seesaw moves up. Mass of Box at Point A (kilograms) | Speed of Movement ---|--- 15 | very slow 20 | slow 40 | fast 55 | very fast Which sentence correctly explains the results?
A. The box with the smallest mass pushes the left side of the seesaw with a small force, causing the right side to move quickly.
B. The box with the smallest mass pushes the left side of the seesaw with a large force, causing the right side to move slowly.
C. The box with the largest mass pushes the left side of the seesaw with a small force, causing the right side to move slowly.
