How can you investigate the effect of mass on speed?

• By changing the mass of the ball in an experiment while keeping other factors consistent.

• By using a heavier ball to see if it rolls faster on a flat surface.

• By measuring the speed of the ball at different heights.

• By increasing the temperature of the ball before the experiment.

Sam pushed a toy car across the concrete floor. The car traveled quickly until it reached the carpet, where it slowed down and eventually stopped. What happened to the car?

• The car’s mass increased.

• The car’s mass decreased.

• The force of friction on the car increased.

• The force of friction on the car decreased.

A boy rolls a ball across two different flat surfaces with the same amount of force. The list below describes the motion of the ball on each surface.

Surface 1: The ball rolled one meter in three seconds. 

Surface 2: The ball rolled two meters in three seconds.

What could have caused the ball to go farther in the same amount of time on Surface 2?

• Surface 1 had less mass than Surface 2.

• Surface 1 had more mass than Surface 2.

• The ball experienced more friction while rolling on Surface 2.

• The ball experienced less friction while rolling on Surface 2.

A student puts 20 pounds of bricks in one wagon and 30 pounds of bricks in another identical wagon. The same force is applied to both wagons, and their speed is tracked for 20 seconds. Which statement best explains the motion of the wagons?

• The wagon with 20 pounds of bricks will move faster

• The wagon with 30 pounds of bricks will move faster.

• The wagons will both start at the same speed, but then the wagon with 30 pounds will move faster.

• The wagons will both start at the same speed, but then the wagon with 20 pounds of bricks will move faster.

How does mass affect the speed of a rolling ball?

• Increasing the mass of a ball generally makes it harder to accelerate, affecting its speed.

• A heavier ball will always roll faster than a lighter ball.

• Mass has no effect on the speed of a rolling ball.

• The speed of a rolling ball increases with mass due to a greater momentum.

What role does the sun’s energy play in the process of transpiration in plants?

• The sun’s energy causes the moisture in plants to evaporate.

• The sun’s energy causes the moisture in plants to drip off the leaves.

• The sun’s energy causes the moisture in plants to return to the ground.

• The sun’s energy causes the moisture in plants to stay in the leaves until it rains.
