Table 1. The distance traveled by the marble (cm)
Number of Books Distance traveled by the marble (cm) Time Covered (s)
1 book (setup A)
2 book (setup B)
3 books (setup C)
Directions: Based on the activity, answer the following questions. Write your answers in your science notebook.
1. What setup resulted in the marble traveling the shortest distance? Why do you think the marble traveled the
the shortest distance using this setup?
2. What setup resulted in the marble traveling the longest distance? Why do you think the marble traveled the
the longest distance using this setup?
3. How can measuring distance help us compare things in motion?
4. What effect does height have on the distance a marble travels after being launched from a ramp?
5. What is the speed of the marble in the three setups?
Answers & Comments
1. 63 cm 73 cm because it is one book.
2. 100 cm 111 cm because it is three book
3. Data! Comparing things in motion, after the fact, requires recorded data. You can determine which motion had the longer distance between 2 motions or you can rank the distances of hundreds of motions - if you have distance data.
4. It makes faster
5. for the smaller marble, at 3 cm, the marble's average speed was 0.6 m/s, following 0.8 m/s, 1.12 m/s, 1.19 m/s, and 1.37 for a ramp height of 15 cm.
