Question

Sam performs an experiment to test which goes farther when thrown, a golf ball or a baseball. He throws a golf ball from a height of 10 meters and measures how far it goes with a metric measuring tape. He then throws a baseball from a height of 10 meters and measures how far it goes with a metric measurement tape. He is worried that his measurements may not be accurate.

What could he have done differently to most improve the accuracy of his data?



A. measured with a ruler



B. performed multiple trials



C. used different drop heights for both



D. chosen a shorter drop height for both

Answer 1

your answer would be B ,C is incorrect because then he would get different answer D does not matter it would be the same A it would take longer and it basically the same as the measuring tape but B that would get you better answers that are more accurate because then you would have backups in case you mess up one. Hope that helps
