Force and Motion Experiment Questions

The video tutorial guides students through setting up a force and motion experiment using a toy, such as a ball or car. It explains how to collect data by measuring the distance moved by the toy when different forces are applied, such as blowing air, using a hairdryer, or pushing by hand. Students are encouraged to make predictions about the outcomes and compare them with actual results. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the forces involved and encourages students to conduct their own experiments to understand kinetic art projects.

What type of toy is suggested for the force and motion experiment?

• A stuffed animal

• A toy train

• A toy car or ball

• A plastic doll

Which tool is NOT mentioned as a way to apply force to the object?

• Using a hair blow-dryer

• Blowing air from your mouth

• Using a fan

• Pushing with your hand

How is the distance measured in the experiment?

• Using your feet

• Using a yardstick

• Using a ruler

• Using a measuring tape

What is the predicted distance the baseball will travel when pushed by hand?
