Question 3

Which question is testable with classroom equipment about Newton's second law?

Is Mars more beautiful than Earth? How does doubling the pulling force on a fixed-mass cart change its acceleration? Should Canada spend more on space exploration? What year will people land on Mars?

Correct Answer:

How does doubling the pulling force on a fixed-mass cart change its acceleration?

Question 4

Why does the Moon stay in orbit around Earth instead of flying off in a straight line into space?

The Moon has no motion of its own, so it simply hangs near Earth. Earth's gravity pulls on the Moon, continually changing its straight-line motion into a curved orbit. The Sun's gravity holds the Moon tightly against Earth's path. Earth's magnetic field traps the Moon in a circular path.

Correct Answer:

Earth's gravity pulls on the Moon, continually changing its straight-line motion into a curved orbit.

Question 5

A class tests whether ball size affects how far a ball rolls down a ramp. Which setup is the fairest test?

Roll a large ball down a steep ramp and a small ball down a gentle ramp, then compare distances. Roll balls of different sizes down the same ramp, released from the same height, and measure how far each rolls. Roll the same ball down ramps of different steepness and record the distances. Push each ball with different force and time how long it rolls.

Correct Answer:

Roll balls of different sizes down the same ramp, released from the same height, and measure how far each rolls.
