During further investigations the scientists compared mass and acceleration of different objects. They knew that they could use sensors to detect force on impact, however, they also realized that there was a relationship between mass and acceleration after a collision that could help them determine the collision with the most force.
Compare the table below to answer the following questions.
0
Question 1
1.
What information is given in the table above?
0
Question 2
2.
What is the relationship/is there a relationship between mass and acceleration between object A and B?
0
Question 3
3.
Using the trials in Table II, which collision do you think experiences the greatest amount of force? What is your evidence?
CFS:
accurately identifies the changes to each object in a collision
accurately describes the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force in a collision
You are a mini-golf engineer preparing to open a new mini-golf course. You must design a mini-golf hole where the ball has to bounce off a wall in order to reach the hole. all of the balls that are used at this golf course are .05 kgs. Previous scientists were able to start data collection but were unable to finish. Their work is displayed below.
