Energy and Force on the Field

The Investigation 1 data table in the passage is blank for the soccer ball.

Part A: Using the data from Investigation 1 in the passage, write the predicted forces needed to move the soccer ball across different surfaces in the table. The predicted forces are shown below the table. Each predicted force will be used only once.

Part B: Select a word in each set of options to explain the pattern in the data.

The pattern in the data table from Part A shows that the __________ requires the least amount of force to pull the soccer ball. The __________ requires the greatest amount of force to pull the soccer ball.

4.PS2.B.a

1

After Investigation 1, the students are asked to test a fourth type of ball. They decide to add a golf ball, which has a mass of 46.0 grams.

Circle a word in each set of options to make a prediction about the force needed to pull the golf ball across the surfaces.

__________ force will be needed to pull the golf ball across the different surfaces because it has __________ mass than the tennis ball, baseball, and soccer ball.

4.PS2.B.b

1

In Investigation 2, the students tried to hit each golf ball with the same amount of force. Their results show they did not succeed. Using the locations of the three golf balls, circle the golf ball that had the mostenergy transferred from the plastic golf club to the ball.

4.PS3.A

1

One student placed the tennis ball, baseball, and soccer ball on a starting line on a field. Another student used a plastic golf club to hit each ball with the same amount of force. Circle a word or phrase in each set of options to make a claim about which type of ball most likely traveled the farthest.

The __________most likely traveled the farthest because it had the __________mass

4.PS2.B.b

1

One student observed that the tennis ball and baseball looked similar in size. However, the tennis ball and baseball traveled different distances when hit with a plastic golf club. The drawing compares the size of a tennis ball and the size of a baseball.

Which claim best explains why the balls traveled different distances despite being similar in size?

4.PS2.B.b

1

The data from Investigation 2 are shown in the table below.

Using the data, make a claim about the force applied to the golf balls and the distances they
traveled.
